Greetings to all!!
I received some Load test reports. The load test is conducted cyclic vertical. There was no instrumentation in the pile. Only information according to test conducted is, pile top settlement, rebound of pile after removing each load increment. So, to separate skin friction and end bearing as the method given by "Weele - A Method of Separating the Bearing Capacity of a Test Pile into Skin friction and point resistance" the elastic shortening of the pile [=((load-0.5 x skin friction) x L)/(AE) ] is coming more than the pile settled for the load applied. (something wrong here). So i just searched in internet regarding the pile settleemt simulation, and found a method given by "Flemming - New Method of Single Pile Settlement Prediction and Analysis" for simulating the vertical pile load test and finding the elastic shortening of pile. The program he made is CEMSET.
So, can anyone guide me where to get the program for analysis and any thoughts about the test.
Which way you simulate for the back calculation of load tests please write about.
Any other information i missed please comment.
Thank you.
