About the Book
Rapid Load Testing on Piles
Paul Holscher, Deltares, Delft, The Netherlands;
Frits A. van Tol, Department of Civil Engineering and Applied Earth
Sciences, Delft University of Technology and Deltares, Delft, The
Netherlands
To obtain data about the stiffness and bearing capacity of a foundation
pile, the Rapid Load Test could be an effective and economic alternative for
a static load test. In order to judge this, the influence of rate effects in clay
and pore water pressures in sand should first be understood. This book
presents the latest developments in the research that is carried out to
unravel these effects. It contains current contributions by world wide
leading academics. Moreover the editors summarize the empirical field data
and discuss advanced centrifuge modeling. This indispensable information
source on the progress in Rapid Load Testing is intended for researchers
and professionals working on the load testing of foundation piles.
