Static and dynamic testing of the 'Campile' - A displacement, cast-in-situ pile

摘要

Throughout the world, developments are continually being made in the foundation industry to overcome construction and environmental difficulties. The need for a low noise and vibration method for installing piles led to the development of such a system called the 'Campile'. The 'Campile' was developed in Australia by Wagstaff Piling as a means of installing piles on sites that are sensitive to noise and vibration, whilst maintaining the advantages of a displacement pile. This paper outlines the results of a dynamic and static test program conducted on a 'Campile', with the static load test taken to failure. The test results indicate a good correlation between the two test methods.
