ABSTRACT

The following presents guidance for the effective use and analysis of Statnamic testing, based upon five years of research undertaken at the University of Sheffield and Dundee. The major focus of this research has been the development of non-linear strain dependant analysis techniques for piles installed in clay. This has lead to the development of simple analysis that requires soil specific damping parameters as input. This technique has been found to perform well for skin friction piles in both glacial till and London Clay.
