| Abstract | Data from static pile load tests, conducted on 13 fully instrumented large diameter
bored piles constructed in Bangkok, Singapore and Indonesia were evaluated. They provide useful information on the load transfer characteristics at the pile soil interface. A
calculation procedure to obtain reliable shaft friction values is recommended. It was
found that the calculation method used has a significant influence on the results obtained.
The influence of the actual pile diameter and the concrete Modulus as a function of strain
are used to calculate the shaft friction is shown. This leads to the assumption that more
reliable pile calculations can be done in future practice.
The author's results were compared with previous publications. Significant differences are noted. It is shown that these differences exist due to improper analysis, based
on insufficient information on the construction procedure.
Analysis of the results from piles in Bangkok show higher pile capacity possibly
due to improved installation procedure. A reduction in the construction time after the
boring and before the concreting is started could have a further influence on the capacity. |
