Application of pressuremeter measrements for the prediction of bearing capacity of vertcaly loaded piles |
Sekundarni povzetek: |
Pressuremeter is an in situ test widely in operation in France, and in the last decade it has won
recognition all over the world, as well as in Slovenia. Basically it is used to determinate the soil
characteristics needed for the design of foundations. This thesis deals with the calculation of the
bearing capacity of the vertically loaded piles using different methods based on pressuremeter
measurements.
The thesis deals only with buildings on deep foundations and because the use of Eurocode 7 will
become obligatory in Slovenia at the beginning of 2008, we wanted to check how these new
regulations influence the bearing capacity computation. For this purposes a short introduction of
Eurocode 7 is represented in the second chapter.
Further on, the Ménard pressuremeter is presented with the description of the test, from
calibration of the equipment, preparation of borehole, running the test to the evaluation of the
results (ISO/DIS 22476-4).
Based on extensive records of the pressuremeter tests carried out, the present work presents
results from seven different locations all over Slovenia, where 15 structures were designed. On
those locations we calculated the bearing capacity using different design approaches presented in
Eurocode 7 (DA1 and DA2) and different procedures (basic method 1a and alternative methods
1b and 1c) where the determination of the characteristic values plays an important role, and using
global safety factor.
The main aim of the thesis was to check the difference between the bearing capacity of vertically
loaded piles by using the global safety factor and by Eurocode 7, to determine the model factor for
the alternative method of the pile bearing capacity that is presented in the National appendix to
Eurocode 7, as well as to determine the global factor of safety between the ultimate bearing
capacity measured from the load tests on test piles and the bearing capacity calculated by
Eurocode 7 based on pressuremeter tests. We also studied the influence of the number of the
executed probes on the bearing capacity calculation.
Final conclusions are that the bearing capacity calculated by Eurocode 7 compared to the one
calculated by the global safety factor is on average by 25% higher, which brings us to cheaper
foundations. Besides, the determined global safety factor between the ultimate bearing capacity
measured from the static load tests on test piles and the bearing capacity calculated on the base of
pressuremeter tests by the Eurocode 7 is higher than 2. |
