Energy and Environmental Load Reduction, Optimization on Pile Foundation Design

Abstract

Abstract Design methods must also be improved in order to reduce energy costs and environmental impact. When designing pile foundations, the costs and environmental impact of construction are far from being irrelevant. At present, the most widely accepted method for determining the load capacity is the pile load test, which is considered the most realistic result, and therefore great emphasis should be placed on ensuring that these are evaluated as effectively as possible. By replacing the pile load test, its environmental impact and cost could be avoided. The aim of our research is to estimate a mathematical function that, from the wide range of soil physical and/or mechanical parameters, gives a formula that can be used to plot the curve without the need to produce a pile load test. By showing the relationship between different soil parameters and load capacities. In order for this to be possible later with a new theory, we examined the feasibility of this by evaluating the results of several measurements. Climate change will also bring a transformation in the course of planning, because there may be changes in the load capacity on the soil and the use of materials. Soil composition and structure will also be affected by warming. The environmental impact of building materials and increased costs demands also bring about changes in the design of pile foundations.
