Abstract

To develop an advanced and innovative method for shallow foundations design with the aid of dynamic penetration testing technique, several in-situ tests are realized on various experimental sites to enrich the available database and to valid the computed results. This communication presents the field tests consisting of the Foundation Loading Tests and the Dynamic Cone Penetration Tests (DCPT): their performance, operation principles, equipment and results obtained. A direct method for bearing capacity prediction based on the measured data is also proposed, then compared to other approaches already standardized. Therefore, this study contributes to the improvement of the shallow foundations design method by providing full-scale experimental results and discussing their findings.
