Abstract
We developed a method for estimating static pile load-settlement behavior by means of a rapid pile loading test. The rapid loading test is simpler and more cost-effective than conventional static loading test. To obtain static pile behavior, however, the dynamic effect should be subtracted from the rapid test results. We use elasto-plastic finite element model. Soil parameters are identified by matching pile behavior in the analysis to the results of rapid loading test. An example of application of the method to a cast-in-place concrete pile is presented.
