Why Torque Alone Can Never Stand: Aalborg University’s Decisive Evidence
Here we show how four seemingly identical screw piles — with almost the same torque values — produced completely different bearing capacities.
When High Torque Misleads: Sand vs. Clay in a Real Screw Pile Project
We look at a real project in Copenhagen (CPH Village), where four seemingly identical screw piles produced completely different results.
Why Pile Geometry Can Dramatically Change Screw Pile Bearing Capacity
We demonstrate why pile geometry has a major influence on the bearing capacity of screw piles – and why torque measurements alone can never be used as documentation.
Why Rotation Speed Can Mislead Torque Measurements on Screw and Helix Piles
We show why rotation speed during installation is a critical parameter to measure – even though it has no influence on the final bearing capacity of a screw pile.
Why an Incorrect Advancement Ratio Can Reduce Screw Pile Bearing Capacity by up to 70 %
We demonstrate why the advancement ratio is crucial for determining the bearing capacity of screw piles.
