Experience in execution of driven reinforced concrete piles in Croatia

Sažetak
The technology of driven, precast reinforced concrete piles is increasingly being used on the domestic market. The advantage of this technology lies in soil displacement during installation, which enhances the pile’s bearing capacity. The production process ensures reliable material quality and pile integrity. The bearing capacity of piles can be quite accurately assessed using modern calculation methods and standard soil investigation procedures, including high quality laboratory and field testing. Dynamic testing methods enable a relatively quick and cost-effective verification of the bearing capacity of installed piles. The paper presents experiences with the application of this technology in Croatia, including details on soil geotechnical profiles, driving technology, quality control, and achieved pile load-bearing capacities under specific soil conditions.
