Behavioral Evaluation of Small-Diameter Defective and Intact Bored Piles Subjected to Axial Compression

May 05, 2017

Foundation engineering has continually sought to understand the behavior of piles subjected to loads and their influence on the overall structural behavior. Recently, more load tests are being performed in construction due to the recommendations of the NBR6122/2010 Brazilian code. The available literature offers few reports on pile behavior in a faulty ...

The Influence of Cement Content and Water to Cement Ratio on Capillary Absorption of Root-Pile Mortars

July 18, 2014

For the design of mortar mixes for filling root piles, the Brazilian standard NBR 6122, establishes a minimum compressive strength of 20 MPa (28 days), minimum cement content of 600 kg/m3 and a water to cement ratio between 0.5 and 0.6 and allows the use of water-reducing admixtures; however, the definition of a minimum cement con...
