Deep Foundations

We provide geotechnical analysis of foundations based on numerically simulating a full-scale load test of the foundation design using FBCM. The following plots show the results for a single pile in multilayer soil. The results indicate four stages in the progression of potential mechanical damage as the applied load increases.

Spatial distribution of mechanical damage around a single pile in multilayer soil, showing four stages of damage: based on FBCM numerical simulation of a full-scale load test of the pile foundation. Each plot shows the pile and soil around the pile that has undergone mechanical damage. Non-damaged soil was excluded from the plot to facilitate visualization of the damage distribution.
