Analysis of an O-Cell Pile Test in Jinan with FEM

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to promote the experience of applying O-cell pile test to determine the behaviors of integral pile in Jinan, a case of O-cell pile test in Jinan was analyzed with proposed approach. The pile-soil system was simulated with FEM. The resistance parameters of piles, the load-displacement curves and the ultimate bearing capacity of integral pile were determined. Comparing with results obtained from load transfer method, it is found that the p-s curve of integral pile obtained from load transfer method is conservative.
