Book Experimental Response of a Pile in Sand Under Static and Cyclic Lateral Loads

Download or read book Experimental Response of a Pile in Sand Under Static and Cyclic Lateral Loads written by Pegah Oghabi and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Piles are engineering structures which are subjected to axial and lateral loading. In this dissertation, pile load tests were performed on a full-scale fabricated pile to understand lateral pile responses under static and cyclic loading. The experiments were performed on a fabricated test pile at the Geo-Engineering Laboratory at Queen's University. Dry loose Olimag Synthetic Olivine sand was used as the test soil. Instrumentation including axial strain gauges, null sensors (earth pressure sensors) and string potentiometers were used to monitor pile responses throughout the tests. What differentiates the current study from previous investigations is direct measurements of lateral earth pressure on a test pile using those null sensors with conventional measurements of curvature and deformation. The null sensors of Talesnick (2005) have 'infinite stiffness' and calibration that is almost independent of the soil type, soil condition and stress history, qualities that make the sensor superior to other commercially available sensors. The initial pile response under static loading was examined. Previous laterally loaded pile test programs have utilized curvature measurements to infer moments, and differentiation of moments to determine lateral forces. Comparisons with the directly measured pressures confirmed the effectiveness of differentiated moments. To understand offshore structures, the behaviour of a pile subjected to cyclic loading is examined and explained by elastic soil response at low load levels and the progressive development of inelastic response at higher load levels. In addition, the loading condition (i.e. two-way versus one-way loading) was found to have a substantial effect on pile responses. The pressure distributions for two-way cyclic loading suggest that the lateral pressure is proportional to displacement with peak pressures near the ground surface during elastic responses. The peak lateral pressures move deeper towards the point of rotation with increasing cyclic loads to generate inelastic responses. However, the lateral pressure response is consistently inelastic for one-way loading.

Book Full Scale Static and Dynamic Lateral Loading of a Single Pile

Download or read book Full Scale Static and Dynamic Lateral Loading of a Single Pile written by Norazzlina M.Sa'don and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study presents the results of full scale field tests on single free head piles embedded in Auckland residual clay. Four hollow steel pipe piles, each with an outside diameter of 273 mm and wall thickness of 9.3 mm were installed at a site in Pinehill, Auckland. Static lateral loads were applied by using hydraulic jack, while dynamic loads were applied using an eccentric mass shaker. The free vibration and snap-back tests were also performed by using instrumented sledgehammer and snap shackle as the quick release mechanism. The primary purpose of the pile testing is to measure the inertial response of piles in Auckland soils and to investigate how the soil stiffness decreases with increasing pile head excitation. The field work initially started with measurement of the small strain stiffness of the soil using wave activated stiffness (WAK) tests and spectral analysis surface waves (SASW) tests. Seismic cone penetration tests (SCPT), low level response of the pile generated by hammer blows and excitation from an eccentric mass shaker were also performed. All of these indicated that a consistent value for the small strain stiffness of the soil. The elastic continuum model (ECM) is the main tool that used for analysis of the pile response. This model has the advantage that it has been extended to enable nonlinear behaviour of the soil around the long elastic pile to be modelled. The approach taken is to interpret the field response in order to estimate the factor by which the small strain stiffness of the soil needs to be reduced to represent the correct stiffness of the cyclic loading loops. In other words, this approach used to evaluate the response of the pile using the design approach outlined in Table 4.1 of EC8 part 5. A soil stiffness reduction factor, Gs / Gs,max of 0.36 was found to give a reasonable prediction for a single pile embedded in Auckland residual clay. This factor agrees very well for the computed values of the pile head load-displacement curve when compared with the static and dynamic full scale field test results performed. Two numerical models, which are OpenSeesPL and Ruaumoko are used to model the single pile subjected to lateral loading. These results were then validated using the full scale field tests data. From a comparison of the predictions and the experimental results of full scale single piles suggest that if the proposed method and model are accurately verified and properly used, then they are capable of producing realistic predictions. A procedure that was particularly developed for preliminary design estimates of a single long pile under the lateral loading is also presented in this thesis.

Book Design of Pile Foundations

Download or read book Design of Pile Foundations written by US Army Corps of Engineers and published by . This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual provides information, foundation exploration and testing procedures, load test methods, analysis techniques, allowable criteria, design procedures, and construction consideration for the selection, design, and installation of pile foundations. The guidance is based on the present state of the technology for pile-soil-structure-foundation interaction behavior. This manual provides design guidance intended specifically for the geotechnical and structural engineer but also provides essential information for others interested in pile foundations such as the construction engineer in understanding construction techniques related to pile behavior during installation. Since the understanding of the physical causes of pile foundation behavior is actively expanding by better definition through ongoing research, prototype, model pile, and pile group testing and development of more refined analytical models, this manual is intended to provide examples and procedures of what has been proven successful. This is not the last nor final word on the state of the art for this technology. We expect, as further practical design and installation procedures are developed from the expansion of this technology, that these updates will be issued as changes to this manual.
