The undisturbed-soil experimental analysis of the destructive-state influence of the plate diameter under the vertical tension on the cep pile

In this paper the influence of different overhangs for enlarging plates on the bearing capacity of CEP piles under the vertical tension has been investigated. The destructive state of soil around the pile was also carried out through the undisturbed-soil model experiment. Furthermore, the experimental results were compared with the ANSYS simulation analysis of the finite-element software for improving the current theoretical research on calculating the uplift bearing capacity of the CEP pile.
