Connection of timber foundation piles to concrete extension piles

In this work, the relationship for a socket-type connection in wooden foundation piles is investigated, and a trilinear moment-rotation diagram was determined by means of experiment.<br/>Numerical and analytical models confirmed that the material properties for compression perpendicular to the grain are governing for the connections’ strength...

Geotechnical Bearing Capacity of Timber Piles in the City of Amsterdam: Derivation of bearing capacity prediction factors based on static load tests conducted on instrumented timber piles

In the city of Amsterdam, many structures, such as houses,bridges and quay walls, are founded on wooden piles. In order to gain insightinto the safety of such structures, assessment of the foundations is required.As part of an experimental framework assessing the safety of bridges and quaywalls in the city of Amsterdam, a...
