Deep Foundations On Bored And Auger Piles Bap Iii

This text presents findings from the 3rd International Geotechnical Seminar, held in Ghent, Belgium. Topics include: American experiences with large diameter bored piles; case histories; static, dynamic and pile integrity testing; and installation parameters and capacity of screwed piles.

Piled foundations are generally designed using empirical methods, in particular the traditional capacity based approach on which the majority of codes of practice are based. However in recent years the analysis of pile groups and piled rafts has undergone substantial development in the light of new research and the mechanisms for the interactions b

Although progressing very well over the last years, the design criteria for bored and auger piles are still not fully under control and in acceptable synergism with the real pile foundation behaviour. Although there has been a lot of research in the past years worldwide on deep foundation engineering, the strong and competitive market has absolutely favorized the ingenuity of the contractor’s world. A striking example of this is of such developments linked ideas on energy piles; one of the key topics in this book. This book presents the current status of screw or bore pile-soil interaction findings and developments.

The Proceedings of the 2nd International Geotechnical Seminar, held in Ghent, 1-4 June 1993. Contents: Keynote lectures; Interaction problems related to pile groups; Installation problems of bored and auger piles; Monitoring of pile installations: Case studies; Pile testing; Integrity testing; Design of bored piles; Settlement behaviour of groups of bored or auger piles; Piled rafts; Relevance of in situ testing for the evaluation of bored or auger pile design; Design of auger piles with soil displacement; Supplement.

This volume provides a snapshot of the current thinking and development perspectives on the installation and design of screw piles within the framework of Eurocode 7. The material included provides background on the various aspects of screw piles, with particular reference to stiff clays: 1. Exptensive description of a multi-million Euros research program on the loading behaviour of screw piles; 2. Geological and geotechnical characterization of Boom clay, and overview of screw pile testing over the last 30 years; 3. Results of the various load tests recently performed on 30 piles: static, dynamic, statnamic, and integrity and outcome of an international prediction event; 4. Tentative translation of the current body of knowledge in terms of potential application rules to be soon ascenrtained at the national level, as required by Eurocode 7. The remarkable aspects of the soil displacement piles covered in this book is an exceptionally low variability of geotechnical parameters,installation performance, and pile capacity calculations.

This work collates the topics discussed in the sixth International Conference on land and offshore piling. It covers topics such as: wave mechanics and its application to pile mechanics; driving equipment and developments; and pile integrity and low strain dynamic testing.
