Verification of the Vertical Bearing Capacity of a Reinforced Concrete Pile

This paper deals with the modeling of the load test of vertical resistance of reinforced concrete piles. The pile is a part of a group of piles with reinforced concrete heads. The head is pressed with steel arches of a bridge on highway Jablonov - Studenec. Pile model is created in ANSYS with several models of foundation having properties found out from geotechnical survey. Finally some crucial results obtained from computer models are presented and compared with these obtained from experiment.
