The article presents the results of static tests a strip foundation fragment, strengthened with bored pile, which has an enlarged pile base at its lower end. To evaluate obtained, were also carried out for load fragment without strengthening and separately located base. According to data obtained during load, dependence graphs constructed: settlements from pressure under toe settlement indentat...

A controller for a miniature wheel loader is developed to scoop rock piles autonomously. During a scooping task operation, the load of the bucket varies momentarily according to the phase of scooping. Before the insertion of the bucket into the rock pile, the load is just the bucket weight, but after the insertion the reaction force from the rock piles is applied to the bucket. The values of th...

Abstract Rock-socket pile design predominantly depends on the shaft resistance to support load at serviceability state. However, due limited understanding of pile–rock interactions, capacity is normally calculated using empirical correlations. In this study, load-bearing mechanisms rock-socketed piles were investigated through a miniaturised pile–load test setup in soft synthetic rock. X-ray CT...

In this paper, a numerical investigation of the effects grout parameters on load response concrete pile-grout systems in soft clay is presented. The study examines influence diameter and depth bearing capacity pile under vertical lateral loads. research findings indicate that grouting can enhance single system by up to 27% loads 51% loads, depending used. This due grout's ability fill voids soi...

Using the statistical characteristics is one of the methods to justify the random nature of the ocean waves. Probability function are used to facilitate the studies of the random waves parameters, such as the surface and height and period of the waves. Since, the force of the ocean waves are the prevalent principal forces on the offshore structures, the assignment of the significant structural ...

stable pile depth in the Snowy River study (SKM 2005) is outlined. The inputs used in the run of the LLP99 model were: • single soil layer, • very high flexural stiffness of pile (1,000,000 kN/m). • pile width = 0.3 m (i.e. wooden pile), • shear strength in the absence of lateral stress (for unconsolidated sand 150 kN/m was used), • effective unit weight of soil (15 kN/m), • active lateral effe...

The effects of ash refuse pile from a black soap-making facility were studied on the surface (0-15 cm) layer of soils and commonest plants at Ori-Ebu, Afao Quarter, Ikere-Ekiti in Nigeria. Soil and plant samples were collected at 0, 15, 30, 60, 75, 105 and 150 m from the ash refuse pile and analyzed for cadmium (Cd), cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr), lead (Pb) and nickel (Ni). The prominent plant spe...

In this paper, an analytical solution to the problem of interaction a pile-slab foundation with 2-layer elastic soil basement is proposed. A new method was proposed take into account nonlinearity soils in formulation. This consists limiting bearing capacity pile along lateral surface by strength adjacent and redistributing applied load toe. article, comparative analysis formulation numerical si...
