THE BENDING OF LONG H-SECTION PILES

DURING A PILE-TESTING PROGRAM AT THE SITE OF ONTARIO HYDRO'S NEW LAMBTON GENERATING STATION, THREE H-SECTION PILES WERE INSTRUMENTED TO DETERMINE WHETHER THEY DROVE STRAIGHT AND WERE SUBSEQUENTLY LOAD TESTED. VERY LARGE DEFLECTIONS THAT OCCURED ABOVE THE WEAK AXIS OF THE PILES WERE MEASURED. THE PRACTICAL IMPLICATION OF PILE BENDING DICUSSED, AND A GENERAL HYPOTHESIS IS PUT FORWARD TO EXPLAIN PILE BENDING. /CGRA/
