Objective
The installation of steel piles is still the subject of many unanswered questions. This research project - in which all drivability aspects of steel piles driven by different systems (impact hammers, vibratory hammers, presses) in the most recurrent soil types will be considered - aims to give an answer to them. For this, a database with all relevant technical, commercial information will be established. Furthermore, new methods for predictions about the drivability and about the vibration nuisance in the environment will be assessed or upgraded. If necessary, new measurement methods can be developed. The calculation of the bearing capacity, departing from measured parameters during the driving will be one of the main research items. One of the main outcomings of the research will be a monitoring system which measures the relevant parameters during the installation of steel piles. Another outcoming is an expert system indicating the best choice (technical and commercial) for the driving system.
The prime proposer is a German enterprise, specialised in micro-computer technics, which develop monitoring and expert systems for the building (foundation) industry.
The second proposer is a Belgian contractor which is specialised in construction works of bridges, quay walls and driving of piles and sheet piles.
The third proposer is a German enterprise specialised in recycling of construction waste and contaminated areas, developing new areas, including driving and drilling of steel pile structures.
The fourth proposer is a Belgian enterprise, specialised in the purchase, rental and sale of equipment for the building industry, and in particular equipment for foundation contractors.
