ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1139/t90-070 | Abstract: | The influence of embedment, base diameter, and backfill density on the uplift behaviour of piles with enlarged bases embedded in sand was investigated in a centrifuge. Comparative tests on straight-shafted piles are also reported. For piles in dense sand, sensible agreement was found with earlier research on anchor plates and published field data. However, uplift capacities in loose sand were considerably lower than previously observed for anchor plates. The normally conservative vertical slip-surface model is alone in providing reasonable agreement with the surprisingly low observations for piles in loose sand. -from Authors | Source Title: | CANADIAN GEOTECHNICAL JOURNAL | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/211699 | ISSN: | 00083674 12086010 |
