Abstract
The influence of bitumen coating on the development of unit shaft resistance along driven steel and pre-cast concrete piles resulting from subsiding surrounding soft soil (Gyttja) induced by fill placement at terrain was investigated. All piles were instrumented with conventional discrete-point vibrating wire strain gauges and distributed fiber optic sensors to achieve high resolution strain measurements. The magnitude of the mobilised unit shaft resistance along uncoated piles was observed to be primarily related to an increase in effective stress resulting from the dissipation of excess pore water pressures. The unit shaft resistance along bitumen coated piles was found to be primarily related to the rate of relative movement between pile and soil, which highlights the effectiveness of bitumen coating in reducing shaft resistance.
期刊介绍:
The Canadian Geotechnical Journal features articles, notes, reviews, and discussions related to new developments in geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering, and applied sciences. The topics of papers written by researchers and engineers/scientists active in industry include soil and rock mechanics, material properties and fundamental behaviour, site characterization, foundations, excavations, tunnels, dams and embankments, slopes, landslides, geological and rock engineering, ground improvement, hydrogeology and contaminant hydrogeology, geochemistry, waste management, geosynthetics, offshore engineering, ice, frozen ground and northern engineering, risk and reliability applications, and physical and numerical modelling.
Contributions that have practical relevance are preferred, including case records. Purely theoretical contributions are not generally published unless they are on a topic of special interest (like unsaturated soil mechanics or cold regions geotechnics) or they have direct practical value.
