Book Coupled Consolidation Model for Negative Skin Friction on Piles in Clay Layers

Download or read book Coupled Consolidation Model for Negative Skin Friction on Piles in Clay Layers written by Mohammad Azizul Hoque and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Piles driven in clay are often subjected to indirect loading as a result of the surcharge applied on the surrounding area. During the drained period, both the pile and the soil undergo downward movements caused by the axial and the surcharge loading, respectively. Depending on the relative movement of the pile/soil system, positive and negative skin friction develop on the pile's shaft. Negative skin friction is the drag force that may be large enough to reduce the pile capacity and/or to overstress the pile's material causing fractures or perhaps structural failure or possibly pulling out the pile from the cap. A numerical model was developed to simulate the case of a single pile driven in soft clay layer overlying a deep deposit. Coupled consolidation method of analysis is adopted to predict time/settlement/skin friction distribution relationships. The model is an axisymmetric that uses the finite element technique combined with the soil responses according to Mohr-Coulomb criteria. The model was first tested against the results predicted by the classic theories for bearing capacity of pile foundations on clay. Furthermore, the model was validated with the results of three full scale field tests available in the literature.

Book Offshore Site Investigation and Foundation Behaviour

Download or read book Offshore Site Investigation and Foundation Behaviour written by D.A. Ardus and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 769 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two main areas of offshore activity are addressed in this book: Site investigation on assessment; and Applications and foundation engineering. The 37 contributions from a wide ranging group of international experts, are resulting from the Offshore Site Investigation and Foundation Behaviour Conference, London, U.K., September 1992. Adequate determination of site conditions can only be achieved by the integrated approach of using geological, geophysical and geotechnical data. Developments in data acquisition techniques are illustrated through case histories in the section on Geotechnical Sampling and Testing. In the section on Advanced Interpretation Techniques and Integrated Interpretations the state of the art of these topics is also illustrated by case histories. A review of foundation behaviour is presented in the section on Gravity Foundations, Foundation Performance Monitoring, Piling Research and Design Criteria. These topics are illustrated in the light of field experience and recent research, in particular that involving full-scale tests and monitoring. This book provides many illustrative figures and much pertinent information to exploration and marine geophysicists, petroleum and offshore engineers and for researchers working these fields.

Book Skin Friction Resistance of Piles Embedded in Clays

Download or read book Skin Friction Resistance of Piles Embedded in Clays written by Ramachandra Phanikumar and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pile foundations are an example of deep foundations. They are long columnar members driven into earth to support civil engineering structures. They are preferred when the soil at shallow depths is weak and has poor bearing capacity. Based on the material used for manufacturing piles, they are classified as steel piles, concrete piles and timber piles; and based on their function they are generally classified as end bearing piles and friction piles. The total capacity of a single pile driven either into sands or clays is the summation of end bearing capacity and friction capacity. Friction capacity is also called skin friction capacity or skin friction resistance. This book deals with the determination of skin friction resistance of single piles driven into clays. It discusses the three important methods available for the purpose and examines the influence of various important parameters on the skin friction resistance.
