Abstract
The pile bearing capacity varies even within the same site. This study aims to gain a better understanding of the effect of pile penetration techniques on the variability of bearing capacity. The study uses data from 83 jack-in test piles to explore the variations in penetration resistance at the pile head, base, and shaft. The semivariance increases with an increase of the horizontal distance, so we focus on the semivariance between 5 m range, whose error was defined as the error due to piling workmanship. The analysis shows that the errors follow a lognormal probability distribution, and the coefficient of variation (COV) in penetration resistance at the heads and bases is about 10%, while the COV in extracted resistance varies widely, with a range of 5–25%. Little difference in the variations due to piling workmanship was observed among different penetration motions, speeds, and soil types.
期刊介绍:
Soils and Foundations is one of the leading journals in the field of soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. It is the official journal of the Japanese Geotechnical Society (JGS)., The journal publishes a variety of original research paper, technical reports, technical notes, as well as the state-of-the-art reports upon invitation by the Editor, in the fields of soil and rock mechanics, geotechnical engineering, and environmental geotechnics. Since the publication of Volume 1, No.1 issue in June 1960, Soils and Foundations will celebrate the 60th anniversary in the year of 2020.
Soils and Foundations welcomes theoretical as well as practical work associated with the aforementioned field(s). Case studies that describe the original and interdisciplinary work applicable to geotechnical engineering are particularly encouraged. Discussions to each of the published articles are also welcomed in order to provide an avenue in which opinions of peers may be fed back or exchanged. In providing latest expertise on a specific topic, one issue out of six per year on average was allocated to include selected papers from the International Symposia which were held in Japan as well as overseas.
