Load Transfer in Deep Foundations Under Repeated Axial Loading
An analysis is presented of changes in axial load transfer for deep foundations under repeated loading, compared with static uplift and compression loading. Existing load test data demonstrate...
Ground Failure Damage to Buildings During Earthquakes
Several case histories are examined to evaluate building damage as a function of the foundation type and type and amount of ground displacement. Extensional or vertical ground displacements...
Load Tests on Bored Friction Piles in Clay
For the first time in Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A., uncased bored friction piles in clay were used to support a six-story residential structure over a 60- to 75-foot (1.83 to 22.9 m)...
