Influence of installation method on performance of screwed pile and evaluation of pulling resistance

In the present study, we performed installation and pull-out loading tests on screwed piles in sand deposits using a calibration chamber. These tests focused on how the installation method influenced the performance of the piles. The results revealed that the load-displacement relationship strongly depended on the installation method, but that the second-limit uplift resistance was almost unaffected. Next, we observed the movement of the soil near the pile after both the installation and pull-out loading tests. Shear failure of the soil, which occurs in a cylindrical region in the periphery through which the wing plate of the pile passes, regardless of how the screwed pile is installed, was found to be one of the determinants of the pulling resistance. Finally, we evaluated the pulling resistance of the screwed pile based on these soil observations and an analysis of the loading test results. We found that the pulling resistance of the wing plate could be determined based on the change in earth pressure near the pile due to installation and pull-out loading of the pile.

Bearing capacity of circular footing on geocell–sand mattress overlying clay bed with void

The potential benefits of providing geocell reinforced sand mattress over clay subgrade with void have been investigated through a series of laboratory scale model tests. The parameters varied in the test programme include, thickness of unreinforced sand layer above clay bed, width and height of geocell mattress, relative density of the sand fill in the geocells, and influence of an additional layer of planar geogrid placed at the base of the geocell mattress. The test results indicate that substantial improvement in performance can be obtained with the provision of geocell mattress, of adequate size, over the clay subgrade with void. In order to have beneficial effect, the geocell mattress must spread beyond the void at least a distance equal to the diameter of the void. The influence of the void over the performance of the footing reduces for height of geocell mattress greater than 1.8 times the diameter of the footing. Better improvement in performance is obtained for geocells filled with dense soil.

Reliability of design approaches for axially loaded offshore piles and its consequences with respect to the North Sea

In the near future, several offshore wind farms are planned to be built in the North Sea. Therefore, jacket and tripod constructions with mainly axially loaded piles are suitable as support structures. The current design of axial bearing resistance of these piles leads to deviant results regarding the pile resistance when different design methods are adopted. Hence, a strong deviation regarding the required pile length must be addressed. The reliability of a design method can be evaluated based on a model error which describes the quality of the considered design method by comparing measured and predicted pile bearing resistances. However, only few pile load tests are reported with regard to the boundary conditions in the North Sea. This paper presents 6 large-scale axial pile load tests which were incorporated within a new model error approach for the current design methods used for the axial bearing resistance, namely API Main Text method and cone penetration test (CPT)-based design methods, such as simplified ICP-05, offshore UWA-05, Fugro-05 and NGI-05 methods. Based on these new model errors, a reliability-based study towards the safety was conducted by performing a Monte-Carlo simulation. In addition, consequences regarding the deterministic pile design in terms of quality factors were evaluated. It is shown that the current global safety factor (GSF) prescribed and the partial safety factors are only valid for the API Main Text and the offshore UWA-05 design methods; whereas for the simplified ICP-05, Fugro-05 and NGI-05 design methods, an increase in the required embedded pile length and thus in the GSF up to 2.69, 2.95 and 3.27, respectively, should be considered to satisfy the desired safety level according to DIN EN 1990 of β = 3.8. Further, quality factors for each design method on the basis of all reliability-based design results were derived. Hence, evaluation of each design method regarding the reliability of the pile capacity prediction is possible.

Effects of cyclic vertical loading on bearing and pullout capacities of piles with continuous helix wing

Laboratory and field tests were conducted to investigate the bearing and pullout capacities of steel piles with a continuous helix wing during cyclic loading. Both continuous helix and straight-sided piles were subjected to monotonic compressive, monotonic tensile, and cyclic reversal loading in the laboratory, while only the continuous helix pile was tested in the field. Both the laboratory and the field tests showed that the bearing and pullout capacities of the continuous helix pile under cyclic reversal loading decreased to approximately 60–80% of those of the pile under monotonic loading, with a larger reduction seen in the laboratory tests. The decrease in resistance was mainly due to the reduction in shaft friction, which was likely to be the result of soil disturbance and loosening around the pile with cyclic loading. The laboratory tests also showed that the tip resistance of the straight-sided pile under cyclic reversal loading was reduced, similarly due to the loosening of the soil, particularly underneath the pile tip. The tip resistance of the continuous helix pile, in contrast, did not degrade with cyclic loading, owing to the presence of the wing immediately above the pile tip that inhibited the loosening of the soil. These findings were supported by similar field test observations.

Effective installation of micropiles to enhance bearing capacity of micropiled raft

While micropiles are used in many geotechnical projects, as ground reinforcement rather than as structural elements, field engineers have reported that the bearing capacity of micropiled rafts greatly exceeds the range of common ground reinforcement. This is known to be due to the confining effects of micropiles from the interaction between the ground and the micropiles, which extends the failure area of the ground significantly. Utilizing micropiles as ground reinforcement can excessively underestimate the structural contribution of the footing in a micropiled-raft system to the bearing capacity. This study investigates the support characteristics of a micropiled raft through model tests and a numerical analysis. The support behavior of the micropiled raft is evaluated for various conditions, such as soil type, pile length, and installation angle. It is found that the micropiles modify the failure behavior of the ground considerably, and that the bearing resistance can be enhanced by considering the appropriate failure mode, installation angle, and pile length.     

Uplift tests of jet mixing anchor pile

The jet mixing anchor pile is a new kind of supporting technology for foundation pit engineering in soft clay. The engineering features of jet mixing anchor pile as well as the difference between it and normal anchor bolt are introduced. The uplift tests of 4 jet mixing anchor piles are presented in detail to obtain the ultimate bearing capacity and load–deformation relationship of the piles. Load-transfer analysis, which is rarely applied in the analysis of uplift piles, is carried out on the piles with a hyperbolic calculation model. The load transfer method focuses on the interface between pile and soil, with which the non-linear behavior, the bearing capacity and the engineering features of the anchor piles can be fully studied. The calculated load–displacement curves of the piles have close agreement with that of the pullout tests, indicating that the proposed analytical solution is reasonable and feasible in predicting the bearing capacity of the piles. Thus, with this study, the supporting stiffness of the anchor pile can be predicted in the design stage of the foundation pit engineering, which is very important and meaningful in practical engineering. The decay curve of shear stress of soil surrounding the pile is derived with the load-transfer method, through which the minimum transverse space of each two piles can be decided against the pile group effect. Engineers can optimize the length and spacing of group piles through this.

Model tests of freeze-thaw behavior of geocell-reinforced soils

Freeze-thaw cycles are a major cause for destabilizing pavements in cold regions. Among countermeasures for freeze-thaw damages, use of geocells to reinforce pavement bases is an effective solution in practice. However, as opposed to widespread applications, research concerning freeze-thaw behavior of geocell-reinforced bases is limited, probably due to a lack of proper devices for conducting experimental tests. This paper presents a new model-test device capable of performing both freeze-thaw tests and plate loading tests on geocell-reinforced soils. A thermodynamic numerical model was developed to assist with the design of freeze-thaw component of the device, while the design of plate loading component was developed by referring to features of existing devices. Eleven tests were run on geocell-reinforced and unreinforced sands to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed device. The test results showed the device successfully provided vertical heat transfer in sands during freeze and thaw. After five freeze-thaw cycles, geocells reduced peak frost heave and thaw settlement of sands by 18% and 34%, respectively, and increased the stiffness and bearing capacity by 40% and 253%, respectively. It was found a temperature drop occurred at the interface between cooling plate and sands, which was due to the existence of thermal contact resistance.
