PILE LOADING TESTS AT GOLDEN EARS BRIDGE (2008)

The API alpha method gave good agreement with test shaft capacities in clay for the bored piles and under prediceted the capacities for the driven piles. The CPT and CPTu methods underestimated the shaft resistance by 35% to 60% for bored piles and more so for driven precast concrete piles. Back calculated Beta values in clay ranged from 0.25 to 0.3 for bored piles.
