BARRETO MAYA, ANGELA PATRICIA; VALENCIA GONZALEZ, YAMILE y ECHEVERRI RAMIREZ, OSCAR. COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF LOAD CAPACITY IN DEEP FOUNDATIONS. ANALYTICAL FORMULATIONS AND LOAD TESTS. Bol. cienc. tierra [online]. 2013, n.33, pp.93-110. ISSN 0120-3630.
The conventional design methodology in deep foundations is governed by the calculation of mathematical expressions based on theoretical principles of soil mechanics, in order to dimension the elements with an appropriate safety factor against bearing capacity failure or settlements that put the structure at risk. However, the values produced in the mathematical calculations are generally conservatives when they are compared with the measured values of load test, taking into account that this type of testing is not usually performed. This article presents the results obtained by analyzing load tests, in relation to design calculations of 10 piles; with the purpose of establishing which of the design methodologies more adequately reflects the geotechnical conditions of our country.
