Time Effect Research of Prestressed Pipe Pile Based on High Strain Dynamic Test

More detailed information about the bearing capacity and integrity of the pile can be obtained by high strain dynamic test than by dead-load test [1]. Engineering examples show that the bearing capacity of the prestressed pipe pile gradually increase with the growth of the resting time, and the ultimate bearing capacity of the pile can reach up to 2 times more than the initial bearing capacity. Through the study of the time effect mechanism, it is found that the increment of ultimate bearing capacity of the single pile is mainly caused by side soil resistance. The end resistance has little influence on the time effect of bearing capacity of pile.
