MECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SIMPLIFIED CONNECTION OF PILE HEAD FOR PRECAST CONCRETE PILE

simplified method for settlement prediction of single pile and pile group using a hyperbolic model

a simplified approach for nonlinear analysis of the load-displacement response of a single pile and a pile group is presented using the load-transfer approach. a hyperbolic model is used to capture the relationship between unit skin friction and pile-soil relative displacement developed at the pile-soil interface and the load-displacement relationship developed at the pile end. as to the nonlin...

Characterization of Odorant Compounds from Mechanical Aerated Pile Composting and Static Aerated Pile Composting.

We studied airborne contaminants (airborne particulates and odorous compounds) emitted from compost facilities in South Korea. There are primarily two different types of composting systems operating in Korean farms, namely mechanical aerated pile composting (MAPC) and aerated static pile composting (SAPC). In this study, we analyzed various particulate matters (PM10, PM7, PM2.5, PM1, and total ...

Non-destructive Impulse Response S’mash Method for Concrete Pile Testing

Nowadays, in the civil engineering practice, the pile-building is the most universal type of foundation. It is usually associated with bridges, fly-overs and other civil engineering objects, industrial buildings, tall buildings, chimneys, tanks etc [1]. It is essential to control the quality of concrete piles. The most accepted weight-bearing capacity measurement technique is the static probe l...

Design Considerations for the Connection of Precast Concrete Structures

The structural integrity of precast concrete buildings depends mainly on the connections between the precast structural components. Large precast concrete panels are used extensively in North America for low, medium, and highrise construction due to their ease and speed of assembly, and high quality control. This paper presents the results of twenty-two prototype specimens tested to investigate...
