The elastic modulus of a concrete pile is an important parameter for the interpretation of load test results. This paper summarizes and assesses the methods available for its determination. Ten methods have been identified of which four are based on laboratory tests and the remainder on in situ pile instrumentation. Six of the methods have been used to interpret the modulus of a concrete pile s...

The bearing capacity of a single pile in granular soil was analyzed piles under vertical loads in the study of the mechanism of shaft fiiction. The effect of the deformation modulus on the bearing capacity of the single pile in granular materials, and especially in sand, was examined. By using the FLAC program for the finite element analysis it was possible to predict quite accurately the load ...

The bearing capacity of screw cast in situ displacement piles is mostly unexplored. There also insufficient research on silty soils. Therefore, five cone penetration tests (CPT) and one piezocone test (CPTu) using direct methods were utilised to determine the load-bearing four Estonia. In addition CPT sounding data, static-dynamic (SDT) results used analyse load-beating piles. Both deterministi...

The resistance of carpets to texture deformation is considered one the most important properties that affects quality carpet. Static load an essential factor has a profound impact on causing compression carpet pile yarns. Mainly, two tests are available determine compressibility and resilience performance carpets, namely thickness loss after brief moderate static loading prolonged heavy loading...

it is proposed to use a single base platform in the persian gulf considering its low depth and more appropriate environmental conditions in comparison to north sea and mexico gulf where this kind of platform is very popular. the pile of platform is responsible for transmission of environmental loads resulted from waves, currents, wind and dead loads to foundation of platform. using sacs 5.3 sof...

Due to its faster implementation and potential cost savings for estimating the bearing capacity of PHC pipe piles, High Strain Dynamic Test (HSDT) offers an alternative approach Static Load (SLT). The report presents a study via those methods with sliding micrometer. And Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA) imported from United States is employed, determine design parameters pile foundation engineering ...

The use of embedded pile elements provides a convenient approach that may save significant modelling time in the simulation of piled foundations. A back-analysis of an Osterberg-cell (O-Cell) load test on a 45 m long pile is presented to illustrate some of the advantages of using structural embedded elements. Comparisons with other modelling approaches for piled-raft foundations have showed goo...
