Deformation mechanisms beneath shallow foundations
… the ultimate bearing capacity and working-load settlement. Research has shown that settlement calculations, determined using a linear-elastic approach, usually govern the design but this approach is inappropriate because soil is highly non-linear, even at small strains. The result is that …

An Experimental and Theoretical Study of Pile Foundations Embedded in Sand Soil
This study aimed to examine the load carrying capacity of model instrumented piles embedded in sand soil, and to develop and verify reliable, highly efficient predictive models to fully correlate the non-linear relationship of pile load-settlement behaviour using a new, self-tuning artificial …

Análise de estaqueamento pelo método das cargas limite
… We may obtain then a redistribution of the load of the most highly loaded piles to the others, according to the pile group characteristics and to the load-settlement curve of each pile. The main objectives of the present thesis are a better utilization of piles, increasing the savings in …

Prediction of deflection of helical anchors under load
… correct calculation of the distribution of load and serviceability requires proper modeling of axial load-deflection characteristics. To keep pace with advances in structural analysis, there is much need for more practical and scientific work on the load-deflection prediction of deep …

Sustainable slow maintained pile load test
Slow maintained load test is widely used by contractors in Malaysia to ensure the driven pile could accommodate the design load of the structure. Slow maintained load test is a test to determine load-settlement curve and pile capacity for a period of time using conventional load test. Conventional …

Prestressed PCBT Girders Made Continuous and Composite with a Cast-in-place Deck and Diaphragm
… of the diaphragm when the superimposed permanent load, settlement, creep, shrinkage, 50 percent live load, and temperature gradient are summed, or if the girders are stored at least 90 days when continuity is established. It is more economical to store girders for fewer days, so it is important to …

Numerical analysis of test pile data from instrumented large diameter bored piles formed in keuper marl (mercia mudstone)
… work is based on instrumented full-scale pile load tests carried out as part of the design of a major Highway communication project in Cardiff, U.K. This research also forms part of an on-going research programme within the Soil/Structure research unit at the University of Glamorgan. The test …

A Laboratory and Field Study of Composite Piles for Bridge Substructures
… the feasibility of using composite piles for load bearing applications, such as bridge substructures. As used here, the term "composite piles" refers to alternative pile types composed of fiber reinforced polymers (FRPs), recycled plastics, or hybrid materials. Composite piles may exhibit …
