insertion point Explanation: I'm not sure about this, but it seems possible. One translation of Ansatz in Muret-Sanders is insertion. Insertion is just as open to future research as is extraction. Dr David White and I are collaborating with Giken Seisakusho Ltd on the hydraulic pressing-in of piles, as contrasted with driving by hammer for example. The degree to which there is soil disturbance, or the transmission of damaging vibrations, is obviously of interest. Construction in the urban environment demands the consideration of neighbours as a prime concern. Equally, the prediction of the bearing capacity and settlement of piled foundations has very much been a matter of creating an empirical database. There is now an opportunity to establish databases of piles inserted by other means, and to describe properly the micro-mechanisms of pile penetration and subsequent service behaviour. Boring and driving are found to result in completely different end-bearing behaviour, and it may be anticipated that variations within these contrasting techniques also lead to appreciable differences, especially in settlement. http://www-civ.eng.cam.ac.uk/geotech_new/people/bolton/geote... |

point of application Explanation: This is only a guess, but based on the whole sentence, it appears thatyou are using ram sounding, and you need a place to apply the ram. |

insertion Explanation: reading the whole sentence this would appear to be the easiest way to translate it. |
