"In April 1999 the construction of a new quay wall in the port of Hamburg started. In a first
stage two new berths with an overall length of 1400 m will be built. In order to proof the bearing capacity of
the foundation dynamic pile testing is performed to a great extent. To date more than thirty different piles
were tested by the Institute for Foundation Engineering and Soil Mechanics of the Technical University of
Braunschweig. In order to check for possible set-up effects redriven tests were performed. For comparison
reasons static load tests were also carried out, one of which was done with an instrumented pile to allow skin
friction and end bearing to be evaluated separately. The CAPWAP results proofed to be very helpful especially
in those cases where the testing situation differed from the later service condition. Special questions
called for detailed finite element analysis of the load-settlement behaviour of single piles in certain construction
stages."
Although ANSYS is not explicitly mentioned, F. Kirsch also used ANSYS in two related papers, Stability of the vault developing over Soilcrete bodies and Ground Improvement and Its Numerical Analysis.
