Model tests on pervious concrete pile and impervious concrete pile composite foundation

Driven Concrete Pile Foundation Monitoring With Embedded Data Collector System

Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) sponsored research performed at the University of Florida resulted in developing a wireless monitoring and real time static capacity estimate technology for driven piles. This new technology, Embedded Data Collector (EDC), uses two levels of instrumentation, embedded in the body of precast prestressed concrete piles near the head and tip. Strain and a...

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...

Virtual Pervious Concrete: Microstructure, Percolation, and Permeability

As the usage of pervious concrete continues to increase dramatically, a better understanding of the linkages between microstructure, transport properties, and durability will assist suppliers in mixture proportioning and design. This paper presents various virtual pervious concrete microstructural models and compares their percolation characteristics and computed transport properties to those o...
