Synopsis

Understanding vertical bearing behaviour is often key to foundation design. Assessing how this may change over time is crucial to project life-cycle analysis and allows designers to consider the potential benefits of pre-installing foundations or gradually building-up loads. Capturing the ageing processes is also key to assessing whether existing foundations can carry additional loads safely when modifying the superstructure or operating plant, addressing metocean or marine growth changes, assessing reliability levels or considering new loading cases, such as earthquakes. This lecture summarises recent developments in understanding the ageing of shallow foundations and driven piles. It reviews and reports experiments at clay, sand and chalk sites, supported by intensive characterisation, and emphasises the findings that are most important for practice and research.
