... to the small weight of the GFRP pile. In this study, a concrete pile cap was attached to the top of the GFRP pile to add weight for aiding the suction installation. The field applicability of the GFRP suction pile was verified by performing field tests on suction installation. Results obtained from the field...

But, the foundations are restricted within 4 typical types such as mono pile, jacket, pile cap and suction pile for the practical...

... piles) connected with a pile cap. The piles were fabricated with aluminum tubes of 10 mm outer diameter and 9 mm internal diameter (Fig.2). The embedment depth of model pile was 150 mm. The resin was coated on the surface of model piles for waterproofing. The model piles were designed to replicate 1.3 m...

... on the pile caps below sand fills. The settlement of soft ground was simulated by lowering the plate. As the plate was lowered, the soil arching was mobilized in the embankments. The deformation of both the sand fills and geosynthetics were captured by digital camera. Also the loads acting on pile cap...

... of the major failure modes of the steel piles is formation of local buckling under the pile caps and fracture of these locally buckled areas due to low-cycle fatigue. The experimental and analytical research project summarized here was conducted to study low-cycle fatigue behavior of vertical steel H-pries...

... ABSTRACT: The objective of this paper is to investigate the behaviour of cracking and the strength of the cubic type of reinforced concrete pile caps of a high-pile wharf, supported by the large prestress pipe pile. An experiment is carried out and the behaviours of experimental specimens...
