Abstract
High-rise buildings' structural loads are supported by reinforced concrete bored piles. Axial load testing is frequently regarded as the most reliable method for assessing static capacity in actual foundation engineering. The self-reaction test method known as the Bi-Directional Static Load Test (BDSLT or O-cell test) plays an important part in determining the settlement and shaft friction distribution along the pile shaft. The current study sought to ascertain the load carrying capacity of a 1000 mm diameter, 18 m deep bored strain gauge instrumented pile in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, that was tested up to 17875kN using the BDSLT method. To better understand the bored pile's geotechnical behavior, the onsite test results were compared with a numerical PLAXIS 3D analysis. The outcomes from the two studies were quite consistent, indicating that pile-rock behavior had been properly represented.
