Model Tests of Foundation Bearing Capacity of Sandy Soil and Pile Foundation Bearing Capacity

Abstract:

Using self―made model device, researchers studied the characteristics of foundation settlement of sandy soil and pile foundation load―bearing in sandy soil. Through weight loading, researchers analyzed the phenomenon of foundation settlement. Then, researchers embedded friction piles in sand, so as to analyzed pile foundation bearing capacity. The methods and results of the research can provide guidance for teaching of Soil mechanics and foundation engineering.
