Experimental Study on Bearing Capacity of Micro Grid Galam Wood Pile on Soft Soil
Journal Title: International Journal of Innovative Research in Advanced Engineering - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Construction on soft soil raises several issues. The low bearing capacity, high compressibility and the low permeability of the soft clay caused the problems both design and construction. While galam wood (Melaleuca leucadendra) have been used for many years as micro pile due to their durability and bearing capacity improvement, limited knowledge is available on performance of micro grid galam wood pile. The experimental study was conducted to analyze its bearing capacity and settlement of soft soil supported by micro grid galam wood pile. The study conducted on 2.00 x 3.00 x 2.00-meter concrete box container. Then the loading test on soft soil using two grid models such as square model and triangle model. The result shows that the use of grid modelled pile has significant role in increasing bearing capacity of soft soil. It increased approximately 500% of bearing capacity of soft soil. It is not significant bearing capacity improvement difference between square model and triangle model, however triangle model is better square grid model.
