Experimental evidence on load-settlement behaviour of foundation piles in the volcanic soils of Naples area is presented and discussed. The variability of behaviour among piles of the same foundation seems independent of the pile technology (bored, driven, auger piles). The behaviour of auger piles is generally intermediate between those of bored and driven piles; the results of a number of proof load tests, performed on piles belonging to two recent auger pile foundations, confirm this finding. Eventually, the results of load tests carried out up to failure on large diameter bored piles, equipped with a preloading cell at the base and instrumented along the shaft by means of strain gages extensometers, are presented.

Abstract
Experimental evidence on load-settlement behaviour of foundation piles in the volcanic soils of Naples area is presented and discussed. The variability of behaviour among piles of the same foundation seems independent of the pile technology (bored, driven, auger piles). The behaviour of auger piles is generally intermediate between those of bored and driven piles; the results of a number of proof load tests, performed on piles belonging to two recent auger pile foundations, confirm this finding. Eventually, the results of load tests carried out up to failure on large diameter bored piles, equipped with a preloading cell at the base and instrumented along the shaft by means of strain gages extensometers, are presented.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
