Determination of the ultimate tension capacity of piles in sand
Abstract
A research project on tension piles in sand was carried out in The Netherlands. The aim was to formulate a method for the determination of the capacity of single piles and piles in a group. In this method the effect of densification due to the installation and the effect of tension load on the stresses in the soil were incorporated.
