Analysis of interaction of precast concrete joint piles with problematic soil conditions Prorva

Abstract

The Cargo Offloading Facility is an essential strategic project for the expansion of oil fields. The Cargo Offloading Facility is located along the quay and represents a special reinforced concrete surface supporting large cranes needed to unload both bulky and general cargo. According to the design drawings, the Cargo Offloading Facility construction site was planned by installing precast concrete joint piles. Investigation of the interaction of precast concrete joint piles used for the first time on construction site in Kazakhstan with complex soil conditions. In this paper the joint piles with the cross section of 400x400 mm and with pin-joined connection were considered and their interaction with the soil of Western Kazakhstan will be analyzed. Evaluation of bearing capacity of PCJP by interpretation methods of field test data, computational methods using the APILE analysis computer program and the Kazakhstan stand-ard, as well as a dynamic PDA (pile driving analyzer) method while piles driving.
