A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
The paper summarizes the results of a research program into the behavior and engineering properties of marine calcareous sediments, and the behavior of foundations in such sediments. The following aspects are addressed: (1) the strength and deformation properties of calcareous sediments; (2) the behavior of pile-soil interfaces in these sediments; (3) the results of tests on model surface footings, jacked piles and grouted piles under both static and cyclic loading; (4) a postulated mechanism for the development of shaft friction on piles in calcareous sediments; (5) theoretical analyses of the behavior of piles in calcareous sediments. The crucial influence which the volume change characteristics of the sediments have on foundation response is discussed. Finally, the application of some of the experimental data and theoretical analyses to the evaluation of foundations for the North Rankin A platform is described.
