Behavior of Instrumented Piles Under Different Loading and Soil Conditions
A pile is primarily a long container of cylindrical shape having small diameter which is made up of a strong material such as concrete, steel, wood, etc. and is placed or driven into the ground to support the structures or buildings built upon it. With increase in infrastructure development in today’s world, a lot of advanced structures are being constructed globally. But the assurance of success of these structures after construction is still hard to determine. However, nowadays with the advancement in technology in the field of instrumentation, it is possible to validate the performance of the structures periodically. It has been seen several times that the superstructures may need some changes in its architectural or structural patterns. These changes will bring some extra load over the structure, which is not considered by the developers. Hence, to study these changes, instrumentation of the piles is to be done. In the present study, a test pile of 7 cm diameter and 50 cm height was casted and was monitored while carrying out series of compression, uplift, and lateral load tests on different soil conditions. The “load versus settlement curves” as well as “load versus strain curves” were plotted and were compared for different loading and soil conditions. Finally, the amount of the load that would be taken by pile reinforcement and pile material was calculated separately and load transferred through skin friction was obtained.
