... depths of ®ll or soft soil make shallow foundations uneconomical. This paper describes the results of a test pile which was instrumented with vibrating wire gauges and pore pressure probes at various levels along the pile shaft. Three compression tests were carried out on the test pile: one within 2´4 h...
