Factors Influencing the Prediction of Pile Driveability Using CPT-Based Approaches

open access: yesEnergies, 2020
This paper investigates the applicability of Cone Penetration Test (CPT)-based axial capacity approaches, used for estimating pile static capacity, to the prediction of pile driveability.

Assessing the applicability of thermal response testing to energy piles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Deep foundations are increasingly being used, not just to carry structural loads, but also to act as heat exchangers as part of a ground source heat pump system.

Coefficient of lateral soil pressure when using reinforced and unreinforced piles filled sand & granite grain for strengthening roads layers

open access: yesCogent Engineering
Several research studies have been conducted to strengthen weak road layers, regardless of whether they are under construction or constructed, and require maintenance using substrates filled with different materials, which have proven effective in ...

Group thermal response testing for energy piles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Thermal response testing is an in situ technique for characterising the thermal conductivity of the ground around a borehole heat exchanger. The test has seen renewed interest in recent years as an increasing number of ground heat exchangers are being ...

Influence of relative stiffness on the behavior of piled raft foundations

open access: yesActa Scientiarum: Technology, 2018
The behavior of piled foundations is influenced by several factors, especially those related to the geometry of the foundations, the number of piles, the height of the element that tops the piles and the type of soil in which the foundations are inserted.

Three dimensional numerical modelling of rows of discrete piles used to stabilise large landslides [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
A number of three dimensional finite difference analyses using FLAC3D have been carried out to investigate the complex pile-soil interaction effects of single isolated pile and groups of piles.

Interaction of piled foundation with a rupturing normal fault [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Post-seismic observations in the 1999 Kocaeli earthquake in Turkey have indicated that piled foundations may be less suitable than stiff mat foundations in defending a structure against a major normal fault rupturing underneath.

WIND EFFECTS ON FOUNDATIONS OF SILOS AND LIGHT STRUCTURES: SOLUTION BY USE OF STEEL PILES IN DIABASIC SOIL [PDF]

open access: yesEngenharia Agrícola, 2019
Wind solicitations generate horizontal, tensile, and compressive stresses on building foundations. In empty light structures, such as agricultural greenhouses and, in the specific case of silos and elevated structures such as metal water tanks, the ...

A Continuum-Based Model for Analysis of Laterally Loaded Piles in Layered Soils [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
An analysis is developed to calculate the response of laterally loaded piles in multilayered elastic media. The displacement fields in the analysis are taken to be the products of independent functions that vary in the vertical, radial and ...
