Lecture

Geotechnical Works: Static Loading Test and Pile Foundations

Description

This lecture covers geotechnical works, focusing on the conduct of static loading tests according to SIA 267/1, failure mechanisms, estimation by threshing formulas, pile groups, verification, and control. It also discusses negative friction, bearing capacity verification, and the influence of uncertainties in pile design. The presentation delves into the dynamic soil reaction, the Dutch formula, and the principles of pile foundations. Various methods for estimating bearing capacity and settlement of piles are explored, along with the factors affecting the durability and stability of pile structures.
