Elastic-plastic Analytical Solutions of Deformation of Uplift Belled Pile

Original scientific paper In this paper, based on the overlapping deformation mode of load transfer law of uplift belled pile, and the theory of elastic mechanics, the elastic-plastic analytical solutions of uplift belled pile were derived, and the nonlinear elastic-plastic deformation analysis method was established, which made the deformation analysis theory of uplift belled pile more reasona...

Development of a Ground Source Heat Pump System with Ground Heat Exchanger Utilizing the Cast-in-place Concrete Pile Foundations of Buildings

Ground-source heat pump (GSHP) systems can achieve a higher coefficient of performance than conventional airsource heat pump (ASHP) systems because the ground, which functions as the heat source or sink, is at a higher temperature in winter and lower in summer than the air temperature (Kavanaugh 1992; Kavanaugh et al 1997). In addition, there will likely be some mitigation against the effects o...

In-situ Cast Concrete Building Important Aspects of Industrialised Construction

In the ongoing research programme at Chalmers University of Technology, principles and methods for industrialised building with in-situ cast concrete are investigated. The goal is to increase the understanding of, and to develop methods and systems for, industrial building/construction. Improvement of in-situ concrete construction is necessary; partly in order to meet challenges from other mate...

Non-destructive Impulse Response S’mash Method for Concrete Pile Testing

Nowadays, in the civil engineering practice, the pile-building is the most universal type of foundation. It is usually associated with bridges, fly-overs and other civil engineering objects, industrial buildings, tall buildings, chimneys, tanks etc [1]. It is essential to control the quality of concrete piles. The most accepted weight-bearing capacity measurement technique is the static probe l...
