Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The article presents the results of vertical static load tests of diametral and deep bored piles specially conducted at the construction site of EXPO-2017 in Astana, Kazakhstan. The methodology for determining the bearing capacity of the pile is summarized. Bored piles with a length of 31.5 m and a diameter of 1000 mm were tested. Vertical static load tests were conducted for the following load configurations: Bidirectional Static Loading Test (according to ASTM D8169), Static Compression Loading Test according to ASTM D1143-07 and Static Loading Test according to GOST 5686-12. The method presented in the paper can serve as practical guidelines to assess the capacities of bored piles installed in the field. This geotechnical investigation is important for understanding the soil-structures interaction on difficult soil ground conditions related to the construction sites.
