The soil samples were brought from Al-Najaf city and treated with cement dust .Twenty test models were prepared and compacted in the standard and modified mould of Proctor test. These models were divided into two broad series, firstly consisted of ten soil samples, five from these samples were carried out at constant compactive energy (E=355.5 kJ/m3) for cement dust (4 , 8, 12 and 16%) in addition to one case with no cement dust. This energy is less than standard Proctor test energy. Another retained models were tested with compactive energy equal to the energy of standard Proctor test (E=592.5 kJ/m3) for the same percentage cement dust. The second series of models were involved ten models, five samples compacted at energy corresponding to Modified Proctor Test (E=1197.03 kJ/m3) and other retained models at compactive energy higher than compactive energy of the modified Proctor test (E=2681.4 kJ/m3). The results of laboratory tests which carried out on selected soil showed with increasing compactive energy, the optimum cement dust decreased (this percent was corresponding to the peak dry density in the laboratory) . In other words, the optimum cement dust percents were equal to (4%), (6.6%), (8%) and (12%) for compactive energy (E=355.5, 592.5, 1197.03 and 2681.4 kJ/m3) respectively, and the addition of these percents of cement dust leaded to increase in the maximum dry density (4%, 5.3%, 17.1% and 20.5%) for compactive energy (E=355.5, 592.5, 1197.03 and 2681.4 kJ/m3) respectively.\u0000","PeriodicalId":123515,"journal":{"name":"Kufa Journal of Engineering","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131230532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Experimental model tests have been conducted for a single pile embedded in cohesionless soil and subjected to uplift force. The experimental tests were performed using open-ended steel pipe piles with circular cross-sectional area an outer diameter of 50 mm in steel soil box (0.5*0.5) with four different height (0.30, 0.50 and two with 0.40 m). The tested piles have been embedment with penetration ratios (PR=L/D) of 10. Three different densities (25%, 50% and 75%) have been used to perform the tests. In addition three tests have been made with relative density of 50% to investigate the function the developed soil column inside the pile (soil plug) during installation. The results revealed that the behavior of single piles depends mainly on soil density and the ultimate pull-out capacity of the pile increases with the increasing of the soil relative density and used the data from this tests to presented formula to estimate the IFR and takes the soil state parameter as a qualitative variable. The results showed also that the removing of plugging soil decreases the pile’s pull-out capacity by about 85%.
