The vertical loading tests of single and group piles by centrifuge modelling
Pile foundations are widely used for tall buildings, but determining their capacity and behavior under load often involves expensive and lengthy field tests or imprecise numerical models. This research employed a centrifuge to perform vertical loading tests on single and grouped piles in dry sand, subjected to 100 times gravitational acceleration, to investigate pile capacity and load transfer mechanisms. The results from centrifuge modeling, numerical simulations, and field tests were consistent. The total pile capacity for a single pile was 5800 kN/m², while short and long pile groups had capacities of 6800 kN/m² and 9200 kN/m², respectively. End-bearing accounted for 40% of the capacity in single and short pile groups, and 13% in long pile groups. Surface friction was 95 kN/m² for single piles and 140 kN/m² for grouped piles. A method for estimating total pile capacity based on soil properties showed good agreement with empirical results.
