Pull-out testing for solar panel foundation - Δοκιμές εξόλκευσης πασσάλων θεμελίωσης φωτοβολταϊκών πανελ


Pull-out testing presentation and data interpretation for solar (photovoltaic) panels pile uplift capacity.

In order to determine the pull-out resistance horizontal, vertical as well as lateral load tests are carrying out. 
The first step is to investigate the area where solar panels planned to be constructed with the appropriate site works (geological and geotechnical investigation) for:
  • thickness of top soil layer
  • compaction characteristics
  • sensitivity against weathering and erosion
  • stability parameters in case of sloping ground
  • shear strength parameters (cohesion and friction of bearing soil / rock)
  • allowable bearing pressure (in the case of concrete foundation)
  • bedding modulus
  • ground water
  • soil classification - rock properties
  • tension strength
