Paul Holscher, Frits A. Van Tol, "Rapid Load Testing onPiles"
English | 2008 | ISBN: 0415482976 | 200 pages | PDF | 5,3 MB

To obtain data about the stiffness and bearing capacity of a foundation pile,the Rapid Load Test could be an effective and economic alternative for a staticload test. In order to judge this, the influence of rate effects in clay andpore water pressures in sand should first be understood. This book presents thelatest developments in the research that is carried out to unravel theseeffects. It contains current contributions by world wide leading academics.Moreover the editors summarize the empirical field data and discuss advancedcentrifuge modeling. This indispensable information source on the progress inRapid Load Testing is intended for researchers and professionals working on theload testing of foundation piles.
