Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proper estimation of axial bearing capacity of driven piles plays a significant role in pile design. There are numerous methods for prediction the axial bearing capacity of driven piles such as analytical methods, empirical methods, pile load test, High Strain Dynamic Testing of Piles (HSDPT), and finite element method. This Book gives insight into the aforementioned methods for estimation of pile axial capacity. The book presents a numerical technique for prediction the skin resistance distribution with depth. This book is a useful source for both undergraduate and postgraduate students in Civil and Geotechnical Engineering.

Download or read book Use of Pile Driving Analysis for Assessment of Axial Load Capacity of Piles written by Rodrigo Salgado and published by Purdue University Press. This book was released on 2012-12-01 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Driven piles are commonly used in foundation engineering. Pile driving formulae, which directly relate the pile set per blow to the capacity of the pile, are commonly used to decide whether an installed pile will have the designed capacity. However, existing formulae have been proposed based on empirical observations and have not been validated scientifically, so some might over-predict pile capacity, while others may be too conservative. In this report, a more advanced and realistic model developed at Purdue University for dynamic pile driving analysis was used to develop more accurate pile driving formulae. These formulae are derived for piles installed in typical soil profiles: a floating pile in sand, an end-bearing pile in sand, a floating pile in clay, an end-bearing pile in clay and a pile crossing a normally consolidated clay layer and resting on a dense sand layer. The proposed driving formulae are validated through well documented case histories of driven piles. Comparison of the predictions from the proposed formulae with the results from static load tests, dynamic load tests and conventional formulae show that they produce reasonably accurate predictions of pile capacity based on pile set observations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Resistance factors were developed in the framework of reliability theory for the Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) of driven pile's axial capacity in North Carolina utilizing pile load test data available from the North Carolina Department of Transportation. A total of 140 Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA) data and 35 static load test data were compiled and grouped into different design categories based on four pile types and two geologic regions. Resistance statistics were evaluated for each design category in terms of bias factors. Bayesian updating was employed to improve the statistics of the resistance bias factors, which were derived from a limited number of pile load test data. Load statistics presented in the current AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications were used in the reliability analysis and the calibration of the resistance factors. Reliability analysis of the current NCDOT practice of pile foundation design was performed to evaluate the level of safety and to select the target reliability indices. Resistance factor calibration was performed for the three methods of static pile capacity analysis commonly used in the NCDOT: the Vesic, the Nordlund, and the Meyerhof methods. Two types of First Order Reliability Methods (Mean Value First Order Second Moment method and Advanced First Order Second Moment method) were employed for the reliability analysis and the calibration of the resistance factors. Recommended resistance factors are presented for the three methods of static pile capacity analysis and for seven different design categories of pile types and geologic regions. The resistance factors developed and recommended from this research are specific for the pile foundation design by the three static capacity analysis methods and for the distinct soil type of the geologic regions of North Carolina. The methodology of the resistance factor calibration developed from this research can be applied to the resistance factor calibration for other foundation.
Download or read book Design of Axially Loaded Piles European Practice written by F. De Cock and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-12-17 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is unique on the subject because it is not so much a collection of individual work, but basically comprising national reports from most European countries on the present-day design methods, as prescribed in more or less strict national codes or recommendations and so daily used in practice by consulting engineers and contractors. As far as already implemented, the application of these methods within the framework of Eurocode 7 is described as well. In order to improve the understanding of the design methods, the national papers also consider aspects such as the local piling practice, limitations of the design methods, some practical examples and particular national experiences. The proceedings also include the contributions of two invited speakers as well as those of the three session discussion leaders, focusing on some particular aspects with regards to pile design. The book is of particular interest for those who are involved with pile design in practice, consulting engineers, piling contractors, control organisms as well as those dealing with geotechnical normalisation and research work.
