Analysis of uplift loads of precast-concrete piles in porous soils

This paper presents the analysis of uplift load tests in three precast-concrete piles carried out in a collapsible sandy soil. The piles with 12 meters (m) length and 0.17 x 0.17 square meter (m2) cross section were instrumented with strain gauges, in order to know the load transfer in depth. Th...
