Evaluation of Scale Effects in Load-Displacement Response of Drilled Shafts Based on Field Load Tests
Load testing such as standard top-down or bi-directional tests are widely accepted practices that provide foundation designers with site-specific information about the nominal resistance of drilled shaft foundations. The application of load testing in drilled shaft foundations provides insight into …

Use of Ultimate Load Theories for Design of Drilled Shaft Sound Wall Foundations
… design of drilled shaft sound wall foundations. Field load tests were performed on eight inch and nine inch diameter drilled shafts, and the results were compared to theoretical solutions for ultimate lateral load capacity. Standard Penetration Tests were run in the field and laboratory strength …

Statnamic Lateral Load Testing and Analysis of a Drilled Shaft in Liquefied Sand
Three progressively larger statnamic lateral load tests were performed on a 2.59 m diameter drilled shaft foundation after the surrounding soil was liquefied using down-hole explosive charges. An attempt to develop p-y curves from strain data along the pile was made. Due to low quality and lack of …

Distributed Fibre Optic Sensing to Assess Support Reactions and Behaviour of Composite Steel Bridges
… that involved beam, model bridge, and field load tests. Five steel beams were instrumented with fibre optic sensors and loaded in simply supported and continuous beam configurations. Disturbed regions in DFOS strain measurements were found to extend a distance equal to the depth of the …

An axisymmetrical model for a single vertical pile in sand
… of a single pile in sand under axisymmetrical loading conditions. An extensive literature review for the existing theories is presented. The published reports showed a wide range of discrepancies exists among previous theories developed to predict bearing capacity of a single pile in sand. A …
