A Case Study of Self-balancing Test Method for Bearing Capacity of Foundation Piles in a Certain Project
The self balancing test method for pile bearing capacity has significant advantages in testing the bearing capacity of large tonnage pile foundations due to its flexibility and reliability.The article starts from an engineering example,determines the specific position of the balance point of the tested pile through calculation before the experiment,draws Q-S curves based on on-site inspection data,and calculates that the compressive bearing capacity of three tested piles meets the design requirements.The difficulty in the test process lies in the difficulty in accurately controlling the position of the"balance point"on the pile body,and the test has strict requirements for construction quality.
