COMPORTAMIENTO DE MODELOS INSTRUMENTADOS DE PILOTES ANTE CARGA AXIAL ESTÁTICA EN SUELOS ARCILLOSOS MARINOS

Abstract

iii The present thesis work about instrumented model pile behavior before static axial load in marine clay soils. Experiments carried a reduced model of a tubular pile friction, which was driven in marine soil artificially created for the purpose in the laboratory results are exhibited. The instrumented model was subjected to axial static loading monotonic, varying its speed of implementation, as well as the OCR of artificial soil was where driven. All sensors installed in the pile model was monitored for more than 24 hours. Before model driven, later that (24 hours then) and during the phase of failure. These sensors allowed measure changes effective stress around the shaft of the pile. The transfer of load to the ground during the stage of failure. They are made comparisons between predicted to apply several theories to predict increased pressure in pore as a consequence of driven the model pile, besides comparison between loading capacity prediction and theories that currently exist for its determination.
