The specified compressive strength for piles was 25MPa. This was achived by the contractor.
But the strength in question is for the pile cap. The specified compressive strength for pile cap is 35 MPa and only 18MPa was obtained even at 56 days.
Amec2004,
The foundation type as used in DYNA 5 was PILE FOUNDATION WITH RIGID CAP which I assume behaves in a similar manner to a rigid block type foundation. Is that correct?
Thank you.
During the construction of a pump foundation, for which dynamic analysis was carried out, the construction contractor came back with a concrete compresssion strength test result of 18 MPa at 56 days. The specified was 35 MPa.
What would be the implications of this? Cracking? Is it right to...
