A,THE,AN COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF NUMERICAL MODELING AND STATIC PILE LOAD TEST RESULTS FOR CFA PILES

Abstract

Goal of this paper is comparative assessment of results obtained from field static pile load test and simulated numerical analysis. Plaxis 3D Foundation software was used to simulate field static pile test for numerical analysis. Results of this study demonstrates comparison of load-settlement curves obtained from field static pile test and numerical analysis of CFA pile. As a result of field static pile load test, bearing capacity of the pile was determined Moreover, results of residual settlement after unloading in case of the field test and numerical analysis were demonstrated. As a result of the load-settlement curve, numerical analysis with Plaxis 3D software is applicable for pile design with sufficient accuracy.
