Full Scale Static Lateral Load Test Of A 9 Pile Group In Sand, Dustin Shaun Christensen
Full Scale Static Lateral Load Test Of A 9 Pile Group In Sand, Dustin Shaun Christensen
Theses and Dissertations
Much research has been done to study the effects of spacing in laterally loaded pile groups and how the pile spacing affects lateral resistance of the piles. In this test a 9-pile group of steel piles was installed in a 3x3 configuration in sand. The piles were spaced from center-to-center at a distance of 5.65 pile diameters in the direction of the load. The pile group was laterally loaded and instrumented to collect deflection, load, and strain data. A separate single pile was similarly instrumented and tested for comparison to the pile group. The soil profile consisted of a top …

Full-Scale-Lateral-Load Test Of A 1.2 M Diameter Drilled Shaft In Sand, Amy Jean Taylor Mccall
Theses and Dissertations
The soil-structure interaction models associated with laterally loaded deep foundations have typically been based on load tests involving relatively small diameter foundations. The lateral soil resistance for larger diameter foundations has been assumed to increase linearly with diameter; however, few, if any load tests have been performed to confirm this relationship. To better understand the lateral resistance of large diameter deep foundations in sand, a series of full scale, cyclic, lateral load tests were performed on two 1.2 m diameter drilled shafts and a 0.324 m diameter steel pipe pile in sand. Although the tests involve two different foundation types, …
