UPGRADING FOOTINGS IN SAND WITH BORED PILES

An analysis is presented of the results of a field-testing program carried out to examine the bearing capacity and the load-transfer mechanism of a foundation system, consisting of a circular plate and 2 adjacent piles for upgrading the axial load-carrying capacity in tension and compression. The effect of the spacing between the central plate and the piles was examined. This discussion relating to any foundation subject to upgrading, emphasizes foundations for transmission towers, transformer stations, and other electric-power structures.
