Book Synopsis Full-Scale Field Tests of Different Types of Piles by : Jialin Zhou
Download or read book Full-Scale Field Tests of Different Types of Piles written by Jialin Zhou. This book was released on 2021. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides full-scale field tests of different types of pile foundations. For the testing, it includes static load tests which consider various loading orientations, dynamic load tests, inclinometer monitoring and tests that aim to determine the load transfer mechanism of pile foundation. This book also covers the up-to-date popular topic with detailed project studies. This includes the academic investigation of post-grouting technology effect on drilled shaft piles, the research of displacement and non-displacement precast pile foundation, the study of fiber-reinforced polymer material used in the geo-technical environment such as deep excavation pit in tunneling project, and the research of super-long and large diameter pile foundations. These investigations provide essential and academic information for researchers as well as engineers in role of Civil and Geotech. Not only the different types of the piles are studied, but also the relevant theory and literatures are reviewed. In this book, the diagrams are plotted in an easy way and the explanation of the diagrams and tables are described in detail. The research methods corresponding to the practical projects are detailed as well. Hence, it is useful as a reference for the students and researchers in civil and geotechnical engineering.

Book Synopsis Reusable Instrumented Test Pile for Improved Pile Design in Granular Soils by : Aravinthan Thurairajah
Download or read book Reusable Instrumented Test Pile for Improved Pile Design in Granular Soils written by Aravinthan Thurairajah. This book was released on 2013. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Caltrans' investment in driven piling to support bridges and other structures has averaged about $25M/year over the last decade. The systems constructed have performed well, but conservatism exists due to uncertainties in soil properties, pile drivability, soil-pile interaction, and pile setup. A new method that could achieve modest saving of 5% in design could save in excess of $1M per annum. This report presents the development of a reusable instrumented test pile (RTP) as an in situ testing device for improved pile design in granular soils (coarser than No. 200 sieve). The RTP system consists of short instrumented sections that provide measurements of axial load, radial stress, pore pressure, and acceleration, and are connected in series with standard Becker pipe sections. The RTP - Becker pipe string is driven using the standard Becker pile driving hammer, and the TRP system was designed to handle the high installation stresses in granular soils while retaining sufficient resolution in the instrumentation readings for subsequent analyses of shaft and tip resistances. RTP measurements obtained during driving provide detailed information regarding pile drivability, measurements during static tests capture load transfer along the pile, and measurements during pile setup capture capacity gain over time. The design, fabrication, calibration, proof testing, and full scale field deployment are presented herein." -- Technical report documentation page

Book Synopsis The Application of Stress-wave Theory to Piles by : Jaime Alberto dos Santos
Download or read book The Application of Stress-wave Theory to Piles written by Jaime Alberto dos Santos. This book was released on 2008. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This volume contains 101 papers presented at the 8th International Conference on the Application of Stress Wave Theory to Piles, held in Lisbon, Portugal in 2008." "It is divided in 14 chapters according to the conference themes: Wave mechanics applied to pile engineering; Relationship between static resistance to driving and long-term static soil resistance; Case histories involving measurementand analysis of stress waves; Dynamic monitoring of driven piles; Dynamic soil-pile interaction models - numerical and physical modeling; High-strain dynamic test; Low-strain dynamic test; Rapid-load test; Monitoring and analysis of vibratory driven piles; Correlation of dynamic and static load tests; Quality assurance of deep foundations using dynamic methods; Incorporation of dynamic testing into design codes and testing standards; Ground vibrations induced by pile motions; Dynamic measurements in ground field testing." "This conference aims to contribute to a better and more efficient professional interaction between specialized contractors, designers and academicians. By joining the contribution of all of them it was possible to elucidate the today's state-of-the-art in science, technology and practice in the application of stress wave theory to piles."--BOOK JACKET.
