Abstract:Water jet-driving technique has been shown as a viable practice for driving prefabricated piles in resistant soil layers. However, this technique is also associated with the reduction of load capacity of piles. Along these lines, the use of reams in prefabricated concrete piles improves their mechanical performance. The main objective of this research was to study the efficiency of reams on water jet-driven concrete piles; to this extent, pile loading tests and mini-cone tests were carried out before and after… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
