Dear Friends and Colleagues;
We are glad to announce that an International Pile Prediction Event is going to be launched; supported by ISSMGE.
The Araquari Experimental Testing Site has been set up in Southern Brazil
A fully instrumented large diameter bored pile (1 m diameter and 24 m length) has been installed and will be axially loaded up to failure within the next few months.
In a couple of weeks all existing information concerning the experimental testing site (soil testing; pile details; instrumentation; integrity testing; etc.) will be available on this website (http://www.ufrgs.br/araquari-ets/) and a Class A Prediction Event will be called.
The predictions are to be submitted in 2 months after the calling and a summary of measured and predicted data will be presented (anonymously) in a special Section at SEFE 2015 (VIII Seminário de Engenharia de Fundações Especiais e Geotecnia). The Conference will be held in June 2015 (23th to 25th) in São Paulo (Brazil) and; in that occasion; the best Predictor will be awarded.
Results will be made available to the Geotechnical Community at our website through ISSMGE.
Hoping to receive your contribution to this initiative; we send our best regards!
