Comparison between Ultimate Pile Capacity of Bored Piles Determine Using Analytical method, Numerical Method and Pile Load Test At Puncak Alam, Project UiTM

The pile head settlement, bearing capacity, resistance distribution (shaft
resistance and end bearing) and integrity of the bored pile obtained through several
pile load tests are always different from the theoretical value. The objective of this
project is to compare various method of determining the ultimate bearing capacity
(analytical method and numerical method) and to back calculate soil parameters
based on pile load test results. Therefore, the results of this project will help on
prevent pile failure in the future as pile failure is a very serious problem among the
construction work.
Though find out and modify the parameter that influent the test results, the
bored pile design can be improved and be more accurate and thus save the
construction cost. The parameters that affect the test pile results are soil condition,
skin friction, pile length and etc. There are few data that need to be obtained in order
to carry out this FYP, there are soil Investigation (S. I. ) results for the project,
maintained load test (MLT) results, dynamic load test results (PDA) and also bored
log of the pile. Besides, throughout the whole project, the author will work on
finding out the ultimate pile bearing capacity, comparison between different types of
bored pile design method that is widely applied in Malaysia.
Key words: Ultimate pile bearing capacity, analytical method, numerical method,
soil parameters, pile load test results.
