Popis: Physical modelling involving the use of transparent synthetic clay, laser aided tomography, digital imaging and particle image velocimetry (PIV) is currently being undertaken to investigate more fully the differences of deep helical screw pile behaviour caused by varying the s/D ratio and to assess the validity of assuming a cylindrical failure surface between helical plates in design. The paper outlines the modelling techniques and reports some initial results.
