PURPOSE AND SCOPE
SCOPE
The overall objective of this study is to improve the accuracy of
static design methods for axial pile capacity. In order to achieve the
main objective a series of intermediate objectives had to be
established and achieved first. These were:
1. Compilation of a central source of pile-load-test
information, suitable for use in this study as well as for continuing
studies.
2. Review of the pertinent literature to develop an understanding of
pile behavior, and to isolate various factors which influence axial
pile capacity.
3. Development of algorithms to implement the most widely used static
design methods, as they were originally defined by the authors.
4. Comparison of calculated and measured pile capacities to evaluate
the relative accuracy of the methods.
5. Determination of the effects of various factors including pile
taper, soil interstratification, preboring, jetting, and over-sized
coverplates.
6. Improvement of the design methods based on the results of the above
analyses.
7. Verification of the improved methods by comparing calculated and
measured pile capacities.
