| Summary: | It has been recognized that the pile capacity depends upon pile size and soil condition, the effect
of pile weight has never been considered. In order to unveil this matter, the small scale modeling
technique (1 g) is one of the proper ways to solve due to the fact that full scale pile loading test
cannot accommodate this case. Small Scale model frame apparatus furnished with high accuracy
instrumentations has been set up at Kuittho, a series of different pile weight models, several tests
and analysis of model to prototype similarity has been conducted. The conclusion reveals that the
lighter pile exhibit additional significant capacity compare to the pile made from normal concrete
weight, from this reasons, a lighter concrete pile as an alternative pile material can be developed
to obtain the lightest pile as long as it complies with strength and stability requirements. |
