Project Details

The research project focuses on investigating the installation of composite bucket foundations in both sandy and clay soils. It aims to analyze the penetration resistance and critical suction of the foundations under different installation methods, utilizing a combination of experiments and numerical models. The project also examines strategies to reduce drag during the installation stage and investigates the installation and leveling of composite bucket foundations under eccentric loads. Ultimately, the project aims to provide technical support for the widespread application of the foundation.
