Mechanisms controlling displacement pile behaviour in sands

该项目将利用滚筒离心机的潜力和土压力计设计方面的最新创新，对控制砂中置换桩性能的因素进行独特的全面调查。一系列影响桩土界面应力的因素将被系统地研究，以便于推导出更可靠和有效的桩设计方法。

The project will exploit the potential of the drum centrifuge and recent innovations in earth pressure cell design to provide a uniquely comprehensive investigation into the factors controlling the performance of displacement piles in sand. A wide range of factors affecting the stresses that develop at the pile-soil interface will be examined in a systematic fashion to facilitate the derivation of more reliable and efficient design approaches for piles.
