Thanks for your advise Focht3 - they have been extremely helpful and it is very much appreciated.
I will try and keep you posted on the outcomes and thanks again!!
Hi
If I know from empirical data the strength of the underlying clay (say 45kPA) and the thickness of the crushed pile mat (600mm) is there a formula to determine the allowable pressure on the mat?
Hi - thanks for your reply.
Yes we are looking at settlements due to construction equipment.
We will be using a 600T crawler crane lifting a load of approx 90T at a radius of 50m. This would induce a pressure of 65T/m^2.
We have conducted plate bearing pressure tests up to 70T/m^2 and have...
Hi
Can anybody point me in the right direction for the design of simple pile mats.
We are utilising crawler cranes that are inducing ground bearing pressures in the region of 50T/m2. We are operating on a crushed concrete piling mat (600mm deep) on top of London clay. What theoretical ground...
