Analysis of pile foundation behavior on modern and ancient clay bases

摘要

Large areas in many countries are characterized by the spread of ancient deposits. The purpose of this paper is comparison analysis of the characteristics of pile foundations behavior on modern and ancient clays. The following tasks were solved during the study: 1) The analysis of existing works on settlement and bearing capacity of piles on the modern and ancient clay are summarized. 2) Characteristics of experimental sites and methods of field research are described. 3) The experimental data are compared with the results of analytical methods calculations. 4) Based on these results recommendations for forecast piles work on ancient clay in comparison with modern clays and cone penetration test data interpretation in different ages clays are presented.
