Understanding the behaviour of group minipiles in cohesive soil as well as correlating driving data with its ultimate bearing capacity
Correlating the minipile capacity under tensile loadings with its capacity under compressive loadings.
Linking the individual minipile capacity to the group minipile performance under vertical loading.
Understanding the behaviour of a minipile group under various loading conditions.
Developing a correlation between the minipile capacity under tensile loadings with its driving data.
Compression test of footings as per ASTM DI 1 43, for both General and H6 footings
Tension test of footings as per ASTM 3689 for both General and H6 footings
Analysis of failure loads and analytical method to predict future capacities based on geotechnical parameters
Battered minipile groups do not show full mobilisation of friction during tension loading
The efficiency of battered minipile groups is larger than the efficiency of vertical minipile groups in compression.
