Selected topics in the field of pile foundations are addressed. The effects of the installation
technique on the bearing capacity and the load-settlement response of a single pile are …

Emerging research has led to substantial developments in analysis of pile groups and piled
rafts, as well as clarification of mechanisms involved in interactions between piles, soil, and …

This technical note presents a detailed field study to investigate the installation effects of
drilled displacement (DD) piles with a screw-shaped shaft in Shanghai soft clay. Horizontal …

Esta tese apresenta a metodologia SCCAP, desenvolvida para o controle da execução de
estaqueamentos tipo hélice contínua. A metodologia embasou-se na lei de conservação de …

Piles or deep foundations are elements for transferring the load of structures to the
substructure and soil layers with more suitable conditions to guarantee the stability of the …

This paper reviews the behavior of three types of piles (bored, CFA and Omega piles),
installed in the experimental site of Unicamp (State University of Campinas). Unicamp …

Results obtained from in-situ load tests carried out on omega displacement piles sunk in a
porous, lateritic and unsaturated soil deposit, are analyzed in this paper. Three slow …

Deep foundation are used to transfer loads of large and high rise building to subsurface
layers that have sufficient strength. Piles are one of the most common deep foundations …

By the late 1980's the method of Continuous Flight Auger (CFA) piling was the most popular
method of manufacturing small diameter piles in the UK. The growth of this industry could …
