| dc.description.abstract | This comprehensive research seeks to validate the application of helical piles in the distinctive geological and construction landscape of Winnipeg. The region's geological complexity, characterized by glaciolacustrine soils, glacial till deposits, and variable bedrock conditions, necessitates the development of innovative foundation solutions. This research delves into helical pile design and highlights the importance of static load testing as a reliable method for assessing and validating their performance. Furthermore, it specifically addresses the need for localized data on helical pile load-bearing capacities under unique soil conditions in Winnipeg. The exploration of capacity predictions, load testing results, and their implications for practical applications underscores the research's contribution to validating the use of helical piles in Winnipeg's geological context. In conclusion, this study emphasizes the significance of evidence-based decision-making and the continuous research which is necessary to adapt helical piles to Winnipeg's geological complexities, ultimately validating their effectiveness as a foundation solution for the region. | |
