Download or read book Nondestructive Testing of Deep Foundations written by Bernard Hertlein and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2007-01-11 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nondestructive Testing involves the use of methods such as wave propagation, electromagnetism, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity to test structural integrity and thereby allow nondestructive assessment of structures and the possibility of structural failures before they occur. Nondestructive Testing of Deep Foundations covers different techniques designed to provide information about the integrity and quality of the material that makes up a deep foundation. Nondestructive Testing methods are used at all stages of a structure's life - from new construction quality control to residual lifetime prediction, and even during the monitoring of demolition. In addition, Nondestructive Testing is being increasingly specified in deep foundation projects, though often without a good understanding of its limitations and with the result that methods are often misused. In order to be able to specify an appropriate method, or to recognize an inappropriate specification, it is necessary for the engineer, specifier and/or contractor to understand the capabilities and limitations of each of the methods currently in use. Nondestructive Testing of Deep Foundations: Describes the most commonly used deep foundation construction techniques, including typical use of material Provides a brief history of the development of commercially available nondestructive methods Summarises each method's capabilities and limitations Acts as a one stop reference drawing together resources only previously available in conference proceedings and journal papers This manual will prove to be a welcome addition to the bookshelf of all practitioners in civil/structural and geotechnical engineering and architecture. It will also provide a valuable insight into this highly technical field for university researchers, lecturers and postgraduate students in civil/structural and geotechnical engineering.

Download or read book Design of Pile Foundations written by US Army Corps of Engineers and published by . This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual provides information, foundation exploration and testing procedures, load test methods, analysis techniques, allowable criteria, design procedures, and construction consideration for the selection, design, and installation of pile foundations. The guidance is based on the present state of the technology for pile-soil-structure-foundation interaction behavior. This manual provides design guidance intended specifically for the geotechnical and structural engineer but also provides essential information for others interested in pile foundations such as the construction engineer in understanding construction techniques related to pile behavior during installation. Since the understanding of the physical causes of pile foundation behavior is actively expanding by better definition through ongoing research, prototype, model pile, and pile group testing and development of more refined analytical models, this manual is intended to provide examples and procedures of what has been proven successful. This is not the last nor final word on the state of the art for this technology. We expect, as further practical design and installation procedures are developed from the expansion of this technology, that these updates will be issued as changes to this manual.
Download or read book Reliability based Design and Acceptance Protocol for Driven Piles written by Joseph Jabo and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current use of the Arkansas Standard Specifications for Highway Construction Manuals (2003, 2014) for driven pile foundations faces various limitations which result in designs of questionable reliability. These specifications are based on the Allowable Stress Design method (ASD), cover a wide range of uncertainties, do not take into account pile and soil types, and were developed for general use. To overcome these challenges it is deemed necessary to develop a new design and acceptance protocol for driven piles. This new protocol incorporates locally calibrated RLFD resistance factors for accounting for local design and construction experiences and practices, as well as specific soil conditions and pile types. In that perspective, this dissertation focuses on the design and acceptance of driven pile foundations (predominately for bridge projects) using an LRFD protocol. A great deal of insight is gained into the factors that contribute to the performance of deep foundations by conducting an extensive literature review. The research assembled a relatively large database of pile load tests where both static and dynamic load testing was performed and sufficient soils information existed to perform static design calculations. A MATLAB® based program was developed to use the information contained in the database to compute resistance factors for driven piles using the First Order Second Moment Method (FOSM), Improved FOSM, the First Order Reliability Method (FORM), and Monte Carlo Simulations (MCS). The research also addressed a technique to update resistance factors using Bayesian techniques when new load tests are added to the database. More importantly the dissertation formulated a design and acceptance protocol that seeks to unify the level of reliability for deep foundations through both the design and construction phases. As a verification mechanism to the developed design and acceptance protocol, a full-scale pile load testing program was recommended. The testing program would be composed of ten driven piles that had been dynamically and statically load tested. It was found that, for the same required reliability level, acceptance criteria could be lowered if more piles are tested on a jobsite. Subsequently, a non-contact instrument--such as Pile Driving Monitoring device-is recommended to verify in situ pile capacity of each and every pile on construction site. The results from in situ pile capacity verification could be employed to update the calibrated resistance factors and to refine future designs.
Download or read book Design of Pile Foundations in Liquefiable Soils written by Gopal Madabhushi and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2010 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pile foundations are the most common form of deep foundations that are used both onshore and offshore to transfer large superstructural loads into competent soil strata. This book provides many case histories of failure of pile foundations due to earthquake loading and soil liquefaction. Based on the observed case histories, the possible mechanisms of failure of the pile foundations are postulated. The book also deals with the additional loading attracted by piles in liquefiable soils due to lateral spreading of sloping ground. Recent research at Cambridge forms the backbone of this book with the design methodologies being developed directly based on quantified centrifuge test results and numerical analysis.The book provides designers and practicing civil engineers with a sound knowledge of pile behaviour in liquefiable soils and easy-to-use methods to design pile foundations in seismic regions. For graduate students and researchers, it brings together the latest research findings on pile foundations in a way that is relevant to geotechnical practice.

Download or read book Analysis and Verification of Louisiana Pile Foundation Design Based on Pressuremeter Results written by DG. Bodine and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Menard pressuremeter was utilized as one element of a comprehensive soil property characterization of medium to stiff, plastic, Pleistocene clays on which the pile foundations for a proposed coal-fired power plant would be supported. Pressuremeter testing was supplemented by drilling, sampling and laboratory testing. Various design methods were utilized to predict the ultimate capacity and load-deformation behavior of the pile foundations under axial and lateral loads. Analytical predictions were verified by a program of full-scale instrumented pile load testing on various types of piles including hel-cor corrugated straight-shaft, monotube, step-taper, precast concrete and pipe piles. Five axial tension and compression load tests and one lateral load test were conducted. The field and laboratory testing program confirmed that the pressuremeter provided accurate properties of the clay and that reliable predictions of axial and lateral pile capacity and deformation can be made using these properties.

Download or read book Use of Reusable Test Pile for Pile Design as Informed by Full Scale Pile Load Tests written by Anthony Maxwell Rossiter and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current in-situ testing measurements used in pile design procedures, such as SPT N60 and CPT q[subscript t], are prone to elevated measurements caused by the presence of gravels. Measurement uncertainty caused by the influence of gravel on in-situ testing results necessitates the use of increased factors of safety on final pile design to ensure adequate performance of the system. Large factors of safety often lead to overdesigning of pile foundation elements, increasing the cost associated with construction. The Reusable Test Pile system (RTP) is designed to provide reliable penetration resistance measurements in gravelly soils and directly measure the force distribution within a scaled driven pile installed at the site. This paper presents RTP testing performed adjacent to previously performed full scale pile load tests in the Los Gatos Creek alignment in Coalinga, CA. The pile load test data is interpreted and compared to pile capacity calculations performed using data collected by the RTP. A system overview explains the design and operation of the RTP, as well as the process of data collection and interpretation. Testing performed at this site includes two RTP soundings, each adjacent to a separate full scale pile load test. During each sounding, a total of 6 static pullback tests were performed.
