Deep foundation practice in Taiwan
Abstract
This paper presents a summary of the current deep foundation practice in Taiwan. Constructions of driven piles, drilled shafts, and barrette foundations are reviewed. This paper also presents major research results on piling in the past few years. Discussed research topics include the development of residual stress after pile driving, the long-term down drag force on pile, the load distribution of group piles, pressure grouting at pile toes, the application of CPT in pile design, and the use of backbone t-z curves for evaluating the performance of piles.
