I have a requirement to conduct a tension pile load test for a test load of around 650tons. I want to know the most reliable way of tying the pile to the test beams for the pull. Recently I tried using prestressing cables for a test load of 515tons. The problem in using these is the elongation...
When we compare the requirements of compressive axial pile load test of BS standard and ASTM standard, it is observed that the requirements of ASTM are very strict when compared to the BS standard. For instance, ASTM requires that the clear distance between reaction pile and test pile should be...
Can finite element modelling of complex geotechnical structures result in cost savings to the clients?
usually structures like piled rafts are analysed separately, once only rafts are analysed and once only the piles, and then the results are compiled. if we use the softwares like Plaxis, can it...
Hello everyone,
I have a few questions regarding interpretation of low strain pile integrity test graphs. Attached with my post are the results of four piles tested using PDI's Pile integrity tester. All that I have read on the internet and in books regarding the analysis process is that we...
