DETERMINATION OF PILE BEARING CAPACITY IN SAND SOIL BY LABORATORY MODEL PILE LOADING TESTS
Abstract
The bearing capacities of piles and piled foundations are typically determined through pile loading tests conducted in the field or by applying accepted methodologies from the literature. Recent studies have continued to investigate the potential for determining pile bearing capacity utilising model pile loading tests conducted in laboratory. For piles that derive all or part of their bearing capacity from pile-soil friction, there is a clear necessity for accurately determining the interface frictional strength parameters in developing more realistic and reliable designs. This study investigates the bearing capacity of an instrumented aluminium pile subjected to axial loading conditions using pile loading tests conducted in a laboratory. The pile's bearing capacity was determined from the load-settlement curve derived from measurements, in accordance with accepted methods from the literature. A comparison was subsequently done, with particular attention focused on identifying any similarities and differences in the results. While the results of these model pile loading tests represent a limited situation in laboratory conditions, they highlight the necessity for further experimental studies considering different pile dimensions and types, soils, and loading conditions. These findings indicate the potential for determining pile bearing capacity in laboratory conditions as an alternative to field pile loading tests.
