Effect of pile driving induced ground vibrations and stress distribution to close settlements: a case study

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The pile method, applied in the foundational operations of construction to enhance soil-bearing capacity, is utilized in locations with insufficient soil support. Its purpose is to reinforce the foundation and improve soil stability before constructing a structure. In this study, vibrations occurring during the application of Vibrex-type piles for foundation reinforcement in a construction project located in the Konak district of Izmir Province were measured at various distances from the measurement points. The study further explored the influence of pile application on soil stability, considering the geomechanical properties of the site’s soil structure. The analysis of the study’s graph indicates that stress and vibration velocity remains at optimal levels, suggesting favorable working conditions.
