... 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...

... 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...

... to investigate the load transfer by soil arching in embankment pile systems. In the model tests, the piles were installed below the embankment and isolated caps were placed on the pile head. The results of model tests showed the portion of the embankment loads transferred on pile caps decreases with increasing...

... ABSTRACT Pile load tests were carried out to investigate the contribution of the pile cap to the carrying capacity of a pile group and load transfer characteristics of piles in the group. A group of 24 piles(4 × 6 array) of 92.5 mm diameter steel pipe were installed to the depth of 3 m from...

... 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...

.... The energy supplied to a structure may be absorbed in the elastic and plastic deformations of both the substructure and the superstructure. Eccentric and inclined loads and moments may be induced on the pile heads and pile caps. Lateral forces on the superstructure are assumed to be transferred to the ground...
