Driven cast-in-situ pile capacity: insights from dynamic and static load testing
Flynn, Kevin N.; McCabe, Bryan A. (Canadian Science Publishing, 2021-02-11)Driven cast-in-situ (DCIS) piles are classified as large displacement piles. However, the use of an oversized driving shoe introduces additional complexities influencing shaft resistance mobilisation, over and above those ... -
Instrumented concrete pile tests – part 1: a review of instrumentation and procedures
Flynn, Kevin N.; McCabe, Bryan A. (ICE Publishing, 2021-11-03)Preliminary pile tests are becoming increasingly routine in piling projects, some of which are instrumented to help optimise working pile design. However, the execution of a successful test on an instrumented concrete ... -
Instrumented concrete pile tests – part 2: strain interpretation
Flynn, Kevin N.; McCabe, Bryan A. (ICE Publishing, 2021-11-03)The incorporation of strain gauges (traditionally electrical resistance and vibrating wire gauges but increasingly fibre optic sensors) within concrete piles enables an enhanced understanding of the shear stress distribution ...
