Analysis of Putting up Piles using Empirical Methods

Abstract

Civil construction in Brazil has made great progress in recent decades, and it has become necessary to use in-depth studies of the resistance capacity of certain types of soils. The calculation methods unfortunately did not advance, the last ones were developed in the 1980s. The pile-type foundation in compliance with the settlement, presents a quick, economical solution and serves the distribution of loads in resistant soil very well, in addition to to be carried out with great depths. The present article has as general objective general objective to carry out the analysis of settlements in piles using empirical methods. In order to achieve the general objective, the following specific objectives are achieved: To carry out a theoretical survey; describe the types of settlement in piles using empirical methods; and to analyze the settlement in piles using empirical methods. A bibliographic review was carried out on the analysis of settlement in piles using empirical methods, emphasizing the empirical methods: Aoki-Velloso, the Décourt-Quaresma method and the Velloso method).
