Quelques propositions au sujet des fondations profondes

A pile test with the detail of the measured values is presented in the first part. In the second part, a very simple model for the loading of deep foundations is proposed and is used to make a simulation of the pile test. The model uses only two parameters for each soil layer. However the model is able to describe with accuracy the axial loading of a deep foundation. In the conclusion, the prevalent interpretation of the pile load tests is discussed, subsequently to the results of the computation.
