Bearing Capacity of Concrete-Cored DCM Pile Composite Ground

Abstract:

The concrete-cored DCM pile is an kind of composite pile by inserting the inner concrete pile into the DCM column socket. In two test sites, plate load test is used to measure bearing capacity of concrete-cored DCM pile composite ground. Vertical stress of surrounding soil and DCM column socket are measured by pressure cells. The axial force of precast core pile can be obtained by steel stressmeters which welded on the reinforcing steel along depth. The field tests results show that, the bearing capacity of concrete-cored DCM pile composite ground is much larger than that of original soil. The development degree of concrete-cored DCM pile bearing capacity in composite foundation increases steadily during the loading process. Both concrete-cored DCM piles and surrounding soils play an important effect on the bearing capacity of composite foundation.
