Bending of piles with small diameters in soils with low shear strength
FE modeling and calculations on numerical models
Research results to date
- calculated buckling loads with the elastic approach clearly overestimate the limit loads measured in the test
- rough agreement with the test results in the calculation with the ideal elastic-plastic approach with k = 100 * cu und pmax = 10 * cu
- Concept for upcoming large-scale trials has been secured
