Loading rate effects on pile load-displacement behaviour derived from back-analysis of two load testing procedures
Soils, like several other materials, exhibit strong time-dependent behaviour which can be evidenced in terms of creep or strain-rate effects. The degree of this rheological behaviour varies with the type of soil, its structure, and with the stress history. This effect is exacerbated in pile load tes...
