Correlations between summed drilling effort SumIE and ultimate bearing capacity of pile shaft (a) and of total pile (b), obtained by NeSmith (2003).

Figure 2:

Selected graphs from the performance record of an example screw displacement pile.

Figure 3:

Figure 4:

Displacement augers tested in the research project: a) DPDT b) DPDT-S, c) SDP

Figure 5:

Auger and its simplified schematic representation (right) in the form of a cylinder (Krasiński, 2014).

Figure 6:

Diagrams of screwing parameters MT and nR as well as calculation of WT;s and WT;b, for example, pile No. 600.

Figure 7:

Example result of instrumented pile load test with specified limit load capacities of shaft Qs;ult and base Qb;ult (b) together with soil profile and cone resistance diagram (a).

Figure 8:

Relationships between representative auger screwing resistances and normalized limit resistances of piles, obtained from the tests, approximated by trend lines: a) for pile shaft, b) for pile base.

Figure 9:

Derived relationships between pile load limit resistances Qs;ult (a) and Qb;ult (b) and representative screwing resistances WT;s (a) and WT;b (b) separately for SDP and DPDT drill augers.

Figure 10:
