Behavior of bored and continuous flight auger piles under horizontal stress

Resumo: Nesta pesquisa estudou-se o comportamento de estacas tipo escavada e hélice contínua, submetidas a prova de carga estática horizontal. Estes elementos encontram-se instalados no Campo Experimental da Feagri, Unicamp, cujo perfil compõe-se de solo estratificado predominantemente argiloso, porém com comportamento de arenoso. Como objetivo principal, obtiveram-se valores de nh, para um intervalo escolhido e através de valores de deslocamento horizontal e carga aplicada. Além disso, obtiveram-se, para diversos métodos, valores de carga de ruptura e carga admissível horizontal, verificando sua validadeAbstract: The behavior of bored and continuous flight auger piles was studied, under static horizontal load. These elements are installed in the Feagri Experimental Field, at the Unicamp campus, with a soil section profile which is predominantly stratified clay, but behaving as sandy soil. The main objective was to obtain values for nh,for a chosen interval and through values of horizontal displacement and applied load. Besides this, for various methods, values were obtained for horizontal loading at rupture and safe loading, verifying their validit
