Improving the design of bored and cast-in-place piles in residual soils and weathered rocks

The reported research focus on the investigation of construction effects on the load transfer behaviour along bored piles in the residual soil of the Jurong Formation in Singapore. Extensive laboratory and in-situ tests were carried out to characterize the residual soil and to investigate the const...

Description
Summary:The reported research focus on the investigation of construction effects on the load transfer behaviour along bored piles in the residual soil of the Jurong Formation in Singapore. Extensive laboratory and in-situ tests were carried out to characterize the residual soil and to investigate the construction effect on the soil properties, particularly from soaking.
