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

International Exposition will take place in 2017 in Astana, Kazakhstan as an Expo 2017 on Future Energy.Astana will have Center of the Arts, Energy Hall and even a city with an indoor shopping and entertainment pavilions.EXPO complex occupies 173.4 hectares.The leading construction companies will build the "city of the future".Nowadays, foundation of Expo 2017 Project is constructing by modern geotechnologies in Astana, Kazakhstan.For instance, 1000 mm diameter bored pile was tested by O-Cell loading Test from 14 th April to 15 th April, 2014.Length of pile is 31.50 m.Working load is 14500 kN and planning test load of the pile is 29000 kN.The hydraulic jack assembly comprising of three 5000 kN capacity bi-directional hydraulic jacks, was installed at 16.80 m below the cut off level.There were pair of tell-tale rod installed at the top and the bottom of the hydraulic cell assembly.Ten levels of vibrating wire-type strain gauges comprising four units at each level were installed in the test pile to measure strain at nominated locations.Adjustment for additional elastic compression is calculated as PL/EA where P is the applied load, L is the length, E is the elastic modulus and A is the cross-sectional area.The results of O-cell load test show that in the equivalent pile load-head settlement curve test pile would have a rigid pile settlement is 4.2 mm at 29000 kN.And also the test pile would have an elastic settlement of 9.66 mm at 29000 kN.
