摘要
Full scale compression and uplift load tests were conducted on 3 Rammed Aggregate Piers in the upper surficial clay fill at the NGES located at the University of Massachusetts - Amherst. The tests were conducted to evaluate the performance of this intermediate foundation system in a fine-grained soil. The field investigation also included measurements of vertical and lateral soil deformation to evaluate the active zone of soil resistance. The results show viable uplift and bearing capacity application for the foundation system in fine grained soils.
