Abstract

It was analyzed a geotechnical design with continuous flight auger pile foundations in a venture with four buildings, located in Manaus (Amazonas State). The used criteria for the location of the boreholes, the grain size, and the structure (consistence and compactness) of the subsoil layers were studied. It was also verified the amount and the length of the piles, as well as the results of pile load tests.

Keywords: foundations, flight auger pile, pile load tests.
