Interpretation of static pile loading test results and application for design of pile groups

Recent major bridge projects in the Greater Vancouver Area showcase the experience of local geotechnical engineers. Large static pile loading tests have been carried out on a number of these projects including the Pitt River Bridge, Golden Ears Bridge and Port Mann Bridge projects. This paper briefly discusses different analytical approaches to load test interpretation and reviews the approach ...

A comparative study on pile group and piled raft foundations (PRF) behavior under seismic loading

Study on the seismic behavior of piled rafts and pile groups while the same amount of construction material and excavation is used in their construction, are the main objective of this research. The process where the raft interaction with soil can affect the seismic response and stress distribution is also discussed in the current study. By means, ABAQUS software was applied for the finite elem...

Raft and Pile Foundations under Cyclic Loading

The paper presents typical phenomena which can occur due to cyclic loading in granular soil. Numerical analysis with different material laws shows the challenges to simulate the ground behaviour realistically. Results of numerical analysis by means of the Finite-Element-Method are presented and the limitation of material laws discussed.
