Vertical Loading Test on the Bearing Capacity of Large-Diameter Filling-Piles in the Mudstone and Sandstone Foundation

Abstract:

Based on the vertical loading test results of large-diameter filling pile near an electric factory in the sandstone and mudstone foundation, the load transfer mechanism and vertical loading bearing behavior of the pile were discussed. The analysis shows that the pile mainly behaves as friction piles and the vertical bearing capacity is mainly supplied by side friction resistance. The pile side friction is related to the section displacement of pile, the pile load and the soil characteristic. The pile end resistence is related to pile end settlement, pile diameter, rock-socketed length,rock elasticity modulus of pile end, sediment thickness and pile construction technical. The pile end resistence linearly increases with the settlement of pile end. In tis paper, the dead-load test is recommended in determination the pile bearing capacity and the sediment thickness should be strictly controlled in order to meet the standard. In the intermediary weathered sand-mudstone, the pile end should inset two times of pile diameter for pile whose diameter is 800mm. The pile end should inset 2 meters for pile whose diameter is 1500mm.
