Abstract

Helical piles during the last five years are giving way to the ground screws, that are a particular shape of helical piles, becoming a popular foundation technique in building and civil engineering. In this article we compare the experimental data issued from the bearing capacity tests of a helical pile and a ground screw of equal diameter. Then we use a numerical model using a meshfree software UC3MLib, thus we find a correspondence between helical pile and ground screw behavior.
