In one of the experiments, the piles are loaded axially/vertically by means of a top load. The experiment without top load is labelled F1 and the experiment with top load is labelled F2. The pile group was instrumented to measure pile cap deflections, rotations and pile cap loads. For a selection of piles, in-ground strain measurements along the piles were carried out. For test F1 and F2, the instrumentation is identical. </p><p><br></p><p>This dataset contains the following:</p><p><br></p><p>- Pile forces, deflections and cap rotations data (Excel format)</p><p>- Fibre optic measurments and installation details (Text files and Excel format)</p><p><br></p> ER -
