I need to perform laboratory test for shallow foundation which located near excavated soil that retained by spaced pile row. The footing soil retaining structure has to be studied to understand bearing capacity reduction of such condition.
Model footing dimensions and plan for embedded depth and location of footing from the excavation face. In order to load the footing, servo-controlled hydraulic cylinder fitted on to a stroke resting on footing can be used. It will also be good to have load cell attached between to the knob connecting footing and cylinder.
Thank you for your answer. I need to calculate lateral pressure on the pile as well as vertical movement of the foundation. How can I attach load cell without hampering the experiment condition ( a load cell attached to the pole head would act like a bracing).
