GEOLAB-InstaLatPile-Deltares: Small-scale experiments on Influence of installation effects on the performance of laterally loaded pile groups

Description

InstaLatPile

This dataset includes measurements from six small-scale tests on a 3x3 pile group with fixed-headed conditions, conducted in the Deltares laboratory. The aim of the test program is to quantify the impact of the pile group installation effects on the performance of laterally loaded groups. Therefore, two types of piles were modelled, replacement piles and displacement piles.

GEOLAB

GEOLAB is a project of the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under Grant Agreement No. 101006512, addressing Europe's Critical Infrastructure (CI) challenges in the water, energy, urban, and transport sectors.

The GEOLAB Research Infrastructure (RI) consists of 11 unique installations across Europe to study subsurface behavior and its interaction with structural CI elements and the environment. During the GEOLAB Transnational Access (TA), users outside the consortium gained access to the GEOLAB installations to perform research and innovation.

Technical info

Dataset of six small-scale tests

Here, we share the measurement data from the centrifuge tests from the GEOLAB project: InstaLatPile. 9 piles (diameter 0.15 mm, centre to centre 0.45mm) were installed in-flight (displacement piles) through a aluminium plate and loaded laterally in dry Bascarp No. 15 sand. For the replacement piles, the piles were installed at 1g.


In total, 6 tests were conducted. Test 1 and 2 were single pile tests. Test 3 to 6 were pile groups of 3x3 piles. The first test (Test 1) failed. Due to limited time, a repetition was not possible.
