Avaliação da capacidade de carga de estacas rotativas injetadas em um depósito sedimentar da cidade de João Pessoa.

Abstract

This thesis deals with the load bearing capacity evaluation of injected rotated tension and compression piles in a sedimentar deposit in the coast of João Pessoa city. This type of piles has a small diameter and was originated in Maceió city in 80's. In this thesis the performance of this type of piles is evaluated when the piles are subjected to tension and compression loads using field tests. The fields' results obtained by theoretical and empirical methods are compared. Hence, the results that better represents the ultimate failure load are showed. The thesis work is based on 4 tension tests, 2 compression tests done in the piles as well as in the standard penetration tests.
