Impact of meteorological action on the execution schedule of continuous auger piles

Abstract

Meteorological action is one of the main sources of uncertainty during the forecast for the execution of a work, the article in question is a case study that analyzes the impact of meteorological action on the execution schedule of excavated piles of the continuous auger type. The study was carried out in five works with similar projects, totaling 492 continuous auger piles executed in different periods of the year and in three municipalities in the state of Mato Grosso (Lucas do Rio Verde, Sorriso and Primavera do Leste), where they are collected and data on cuttings production and rainfall were analyzed. The results obtained show the degree of influence that the occurrence of rain has on the execution schedule of piles of this type, increasing the time required for the completion of the work. This study found statistical data generated based on the collection collected in the field during the execution of the works, and presents projections of application of the data in the study material itself, tracing hypothetical predictions according to the statistical values obtained.
