Huy, N.Q. (author), Van Tol, A.F. (author), Hölscher, P. (author)In order to improve the interpretation of the quasi-static (e.g. Statnamic) pile load tests, a research project has been started to investigate effects of the loading rate on the bearing capacity of a pile in sand. A series of laboratory tests has been carried out. The testing program consists of a series of triaxial tests for sand and a series...report 2006

Catala, M.A. (author)Pile foundations are widely used, mainly to transmit structural load to an underlying stiffer soil or rock. This limit state load a certain pile can sustain without failure is known as pile ultimate bearing capacity. During design stage load-tests are performed in-situ on test piles to determine, among others, the value of the bearing capacity....report 2005
