Abstract

Drilled piles installed using CFA (Continuous Flight Auger) and DDS (Drilled displacement system) technologies are relatively new construction products in the market of Kazakhstan for the last 15 years, but already today the technology has a significant practical value in the construction of the cities of Astana, Almaty and other regions. This article presents model tests of bored piles installed using Drilled Displacement System (DDS) and Continuous Flight Auger (CFA) technologies on a volumetric bench. For testing we used 1:20 scale, piles diameter was 20 mm, length was 300 mm. Drilling was performed using augers that were prepared in advance through a 3D printer. The load on the model piles was applied in steps of 39 N up to the ultimate load of 391 N. Based on the results of the study, the «settlement-load» plots of the DDS and CFA model piles were obtained, as well as a comparison of the bearing capacity of these piles by static test method. Based on the study, it was found that the DDS piles exhibit good bearing capacity performance compared to the CFA piles. Overall, the results of the study provide valuable information on the performance behavior of DDS and CFA piles, which can be used to optimize their design and installation in different soil types.
