A Guide to the Construction Process of Bored Cast-In-Situ Concrete Pile

Image
What is a cast in situ pile? The bored cast situ pile construction initializes by digging a hole in the ground. The digging of the trench is done by suitable means such as revolving and percussive methods while using permanent or temporary casting or drilling mud. The construction gets complete by filling the hole with reinforced concrete. Let us learn the construction process steps done by ground engineering contractors in Dubai of the bored cast in situ concrete piles. Locating pile point on the ground Once the building lies out, it is convenient to mark the positions of the pile on the field. One of the important considerations is to score pile points all at the same time. If there are some points left to score, there will be hassle related to tools, materials, and machinery on the project. For More Information:  Ground engineering contractors in Dubai

Overview and Benefits of Dynamic Testing

Image
Method of dynamic load testing measures the bearing capacity of a pile by applying a dynamic load to the head of the pile. It carries the test while recording the acceleration and strain on the pile head. After the installation of the pile, a high strain dynamic test applies to the concrete piles. Dynamic testing for timber and steel piles is carried during or after installation. The standardization of the procedure is for high strain dynamic testing of piles is done by ASTM D4945-00 of the standard test method. Regardless of the installation method, it may perform on all piles. Dynamic testing provides information on the distribution of resistance along with bearing capacity to the piling contractors. It also evaluates the integrity and shape of the foundation element. The results with dynamic load tests of foundation bearing capacity correlate well with the results of static load tests performed on the same foundation element. Let us learn some of the benefits of dyna...
