A Comprehensive Database of Tests on Axially Loaded Piles Driven in Sand
Auteurs : Yang Zhongxuan, Jardine Richard, Guo Wangbo, Chow Fiona
A Comprehensive Database of Tests on Axially Loaded Driven Piles in Sands reviews the critical need to develop better load-test databases for piles driven in sands. The key quality parameters, population of current entries and reporting formats are described before offering preliminary results obtained from comparisons between axial capacities calculated by various predictive approaches and site measurements. This book also shows that the "simplified" and "offshore" ICP and UWA variants proposed by some practitioners are over-conservative and that their use could be discontinued. The new pile capacity and stiffness database offers a broad scope for evaluating potential prediction biases relating to a wide range of soil and pile parameters. Submission of further high quality tests for inclusion in regularly updated versions is encouraged.
Professor Jardine is an expert in areas of soil properties, offshore geotechnics and geohazards, driven pile behaviour, advanced laboratory and field measurement techniques and instrumentation, etc. He has published 200 papers, chaired the International Committee TC-29 on Advanced Laboratory testing and acted as a Visiting Professor in three countries. Recent international conference keynote lectures include the 2007 London Offshore Geotechnics (OSIG) Conference, the 2008 Offshore Site Investigations Forum, and the IS-Shanghai Particulate Mechanics Conference in 2010. He delivered the Zheng lecture in China in 2008, the William Mong Lecture in Hong Kong in 2011 and a keynote at the London 2012 OSIG Conference. He will deliver the Bishop Honour Lecture at the 2013 Paris ICSMGE.
