GEOLAB Blind Prediction Contest – Experimental Data

As part of the GEOLAB project, the Institute of Geotechnics of TU Darmstadt called geotechnical engineers from industry and academia to participate in an international Blind Prediction Contest (BPC) on the response of piles under monotonic and cyclic lateral loading. Two separate tests were performed on a hollow open-ended steel pile embedded in dry sand. One test under monotonic loading and the other under quasi-static cyclic loading with more than 10,000 loading cycles.

This record publishes the experimental dataset used for evaluating and scoring the submitted predictions.
