Abstract

This paper deals with the modelling of the load test of horizontal resistance of reinforced concrete piles. The pile belongs to group of piles with reinforced concrete heads. The head is pressed with steel arches of a bridge on motorway D1 Jablonov - Studenec. Pile model was created in ANSYS with several models of foundation having properties found out from geotechnical survey. Finally some crucial results obtained from computer models are presented and compared with these obtained from experiment.

Highlights

  • This paper deals with modelling the horizontal load test resistance of reinforced concrete piles

  • In order to verify the bearing capacity of piles loaded by horizontal forces, the test of lateral resistance was performed on a pair of piles

  • 13.5 – 14.7 m paleogene - replacing of 0.1-0.3 m thick layers of heavily weathered sandstone (R5, R4)
