SLIDE AS A RESULT OF PILE-DRIVING

SKRED SOM FOLGE AV PELERAMMING I BLOT LEIRE

The soil is composed of 5 m of sand and silt over 15-20 m of soft, silty clay with an undrained shear strength determined by vane-boring to be 1-2 t/m 2. In the above case, one can establish with great confidence the site's safety factor at the time before the pile-driving started, as an earlier slide under similar soil conditions in the near vicinity made possible a direct calibration of the analysis methods used. An attempt is made to explain the effect of the pile-driving by comparing the magnitude of the subsequent mass displacement and the measured pore pressure with the clay's stress and deformation characteristics determined by triaxial tests in the laboratory.
