Bored Piles

Field test data from three instrumented large diameter bored piles in Pattaya city of Thailand were analyzed to study the behavior of load transfer mechanism from the pile to soil. The pile load test data were obtained from conventional static load test. These bored piles used for conventional static load test have the same diameter of 0.80 m and different length in the range of 25 m to 32 m. Results from back-analysis found that the skin friction resistance, β, has the value between 0.20 and 0.64 and the bearing capacity at end of piles, Nq, which is in the range of 10 to150, is much lower than the theoretical values proposed by other researchers before.

Load Tests

This paper presents the results from a pile load testing program for a bridge construction project at Chalmette, Louisiana. The load testing includes three 66-in. spun-cast post-tensioned open-ended cylinder piles and one 30-in. square prestressed concrete (PSC) pile driven at four different locations along the bridge site in clayey-dominant soil. Both cone penetration tests and soil borings/laboratory testing were used to characterize the subsurface soil conditions. All test piles (TP) were instrumented with strain gauges to measure the load distribution along the length of the TPs and to measure the side and tip resistances, separately. Dynamic load tests (DLT) were performed on all TPs at different waiting periods after pile installations to quantify the amount of setup (i.e., increase in pile resistance with time). Case Pile Wave Analysis Program (CAPWAP®) analyses were performed on the DLT data to calculate the resistance distributions along the TPs. A static load test was performed only on the PSC pile and statnamic load tests (SNLT) were conducted on both pile types. Design parameters such as the total stress adhesion factor, α, and the effective stress coefficient, β, were back-calculated. The α values ranged from 0.41 to 0.86, and the β values ranged from 0.13 to 0.29. The load test results showed that SNLT overestimated the tip resistance as compared with dynamic and static load tests. Moreover, the pile tip resistance was almost constant during the testing period, and setup was mainly attributed to increase in pile side resistance with time.

Shallow Footing

The Spider Net System Footing (SNSF) is a raft foundation system that commonly used in Indonesia. It contains a plate, downward ribs system for reinforcement, and the compacted filled soil. The ribs are in longitudinal and transversal, called as settlement rib and in diagonal direction, named as construction rib. This paper explores the load transfer mechanism along the plate, the ribs, filled soil and the base soil under the footing system. The mechanism is investigated by conducting full scale static load test on SNSF. Strain gauges were installed to monitor the strain increment of each footing elements during loading. 3D numerical analysis was also conducted to verify the experimental results. To analyze the results, Load-Ultimate Ratio Factor (L-URF) was proposed. L-URF was a ratio between ultimate soil bearing capacity of the SNSF and the applied loading at specific element. Higher the L-URF value means higher loading applied at its associate element. Both experimental and numerical results show that at the first stage the loading was fully carried out by the tip of the ribs and transferred to the soil stratum under the footing system. Increasing the loading, the ribs, plate, and filled soil altogether sustain the loading and then transferred to the soil stratum below the footing system. The results also affirm that SNSF generate higher bearing capacity compare with simple shallow footing.

The bearing capacity characteristics and side friction characters of post-grouting pile were studied in the static load test which included two piles with post-grouting or not. When the pile head settlements were same, the loads applied on the pile top were used to analyze the bearing properties of post-grouting pile. We got the ultimate side friction of post-grouting pile after fitting test curves of relations between friction resistance and displacement. The tests indicate that both the bearing capacity characteristics and side friction of post-grouting pile are increased in various degrees.

A model test system for vertical bearing characteristics of the jacked piles in saturated soil foundations under excavation has been introduced. The system device comprises a soil pressure loading system, a model pile loading system, a soil vacuum saturation system, a model box, a model pile, and a control and data acquisition system. The soil vacuum saturation system designed for the model box of this test device can ensure that the saturated soil in the model box can reach a higher degree of saturation. Loading and unloading were conducted on the soil sample in the model box through the soil pressure loading system to simulate the soil excavation so that the soil sample and that in the field have the same stress state and history. The soil consolidation pressure, pile jacking pressure, pile tip force, soil consolidation settlement, and pile displacement at the top were collected and monitored in real time through the control and data acquisition system. This device is used to conduct an experimental study on the bearing characteristics of the jacked piles in saturated silt foundations under excavation. The results indicate that the static load test increases the residual pressure on the tip of the jacked pile while also increasing soil stiffness at pile tip and ultimate tip resistance, thereby increasing the pile top stiffness and ultimate load-carrying capacity. However, when the jacked pile is left undisturbed for the same time, the static load test on the jacked pile does not affect the pile skin friction resistance. There is a better linear relationship between the pile skin friction resistance and the undrained shear strength of the soil under the corresponding stress path during the static load test of the normally consolidated soil and the jacked pile after overburden pressure unloading. There is a good linear relationship between the ultimate resistance and the undrained shear strength of the soil under the corresponding stress path in pile sinking, normally consolidated soil, and during the static load test on jacked pile after unloading.

Based on the vertical loading test results of large-diameter filling pile near an electric factory in the sandstone and mudstone foundation, the load transfer mechanism and vertical loading bearing behavior of the pile were discussed. The analysis shows that the pile mainly behaves as friction piles and the vertical bearing capacity is mainly supplied by side friction resistance. The pile side friction is related to the section displacement of pile, the pile load and the soil characteristic. The pile end resistence is related to pile end settlement, pile diameter, rock-socketed length,rock elasticity modulus of pile end, sediment thickness and pile construction technical. The pile end resistence linearly increases with the settlement of pile end. In tis paper, the dead-load test is recommended in determination the pile bearing capacity and the sediment thickness should be strictly controlled in order to meet the standard. In the intermediary weathered sand-mudstone, the pile end should inset two times of pile diameter for pile whose diameter is 800mm. The pile end should inset 2 meters for pile whose diameter is 1500mm.
