Experimental Evidence for the Relationship between the Elastic Shortening of RC Piles to the Overall Subsidence of Foundations

Abstract

This paper is dedicated to the study of elastic shortening of the pile body under applied vertical static load. It considers cast-in-place RC piles, executed by using casing pipe. Very often, the importance of the elastic shortening is overlooked in practice. In the cases when designed piles are standing, the elastic shortening can reach the impressive 71% of total vertical deformation. It is impossible to be ignored. The study is based on thirteen in-situ and one laboratory experiments and their comparison with the Theory of elasticity. The in-situ experiments are executed near different major cities in Bulgaria and the laboratory test is hold in “Todor Kableshkov”, University of Transport, Sofia, Bulgaria.
