EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON THE INTERACTION OF SINGLE PILE AND CALCAREOUS SOIL SUBJECTED TO CYCLIC LOAD

Abstract

This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the resistance of steel pipe pile in calcareous soil. The authors conducted experiments with repetitive static loads acting on a test pile, linked measuring heads to determine pile top displacement and axial deformation of the pile. The obtained results show the interaction of steel pipe piles and calcareous soil under subjected to cyclic load by the ideal elastic and plasticity model; friction formed by the relative displacement between pile structure and calcareous soil subjected to axial cyclic load reaches the limit state when displacement is 2.5 mm.
