This report provides information on the current practices used by state transportation agencies to develop pile driving criteria, with special attention paid to the use of test pile data in the process.

On the basis of load tests undertaken during the course of major projects, it has been established, that drilled shafts show particular behaviour with respect to skin friction in Cyprus alluvial formations. In general, skin friction and pile capacity as determined ...

<p>The Foundation Manual is intended to provide the field engineer with information that may be of some assistance in solving foundation problems and in making engineering decisions.</p> <p><br />Although the field engineer is required to make engineering ...

Since its introduction in 1973, the Davisson Offset Limit has been widely used in the United States for interpretation of axial compressive load tests on pile foundations and is one of three methods explicitly accepted by the 2006 International Building Code. ...

The results of the test pile program established driving criteria for production piles that included end of- drive blow counts and pile tip elevations with an appropriate allowance for setup. The program also confirmed that the planned installation equipment ...

This article provides a review of data from cemented calcareous formations, typically referred to as chalk or marl. Similar studies are ongoing for other types of rock and intermediate geomaterials.

<p>This publication is a reference document that presents a review of the principles and practice related to design and construction of foundation, with specific reference to ground conditions in Hong Kong. The information given in the publication should facilitate ...

<p>Tapered driven piles have been the deep foundation of choice ever since construction of and at the well-known John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFKIA) in New York City began in the late 1940s. Timber piles were used primarily for many decades but various ...

The analyses of the results of the static loading test have included correction for residual load caused by fully mobilized negative skin friction down to 10 m depth and fully mobilized positive shaft resistance below 30 m depth with approximately no transfer ...

A program of field loading tests was conducted to measure the axial response of drilled foundations constructed using a variety of different drilling techniques. The research was performed at the Auburn University National Geotechnical Experimentation Site ...
