Professional Discipline Communication

• Geotechnical, Structural, Hydraulic, and Construction

specialists all play an important role and have

different responsibilities on deep foundation

projects.

• Project specific loads, extreme events, performance

requirements, scour, pile cap details, specifications,

plans construction, pile damage are ALL KEY issues

for a successful project!

• The Geotechnical Design Report is a key

communication tool.

8

10.7.1 GENERAL

• Consider spread footings first.

• Basic guidelines for driven pile configurations

– Minimum spacing 2.5 pile diameters or 30 inches.

– Minimum of 9 inches pile cap edge and be embedded 12

inches into the pile cap or if with strands or bars then the

pile embedment should be 6 inches.

– Piles through embankments should extend 10 ft into

original ground or refusal on rock. Maximum of 6 inch fill

size.

– Batter Piles: stiffness, don’t use in downdrag situations,

concern in seismic situations.

● Calculate pile length for loads

● Determine number of piles

● Determine most cost effective pile type

● Calculate foundation settlement

● Calculate performance under uplift and lateral loads

Static analysis methods and computer solutions

are used to:

47

Static Analysis Methods

• Primary use is for pile length estimation for

contract drawings and feasibility.

• Secondary use for estimation of downdrag,

uplift resistance and scour effects

• Should rarely be used as sole means of

determining pile resistance. ONLY IN SPECIAL

SITUATIONS!

• The length predicted by this method may be

overly conservative and need to be adjusted

to reflect experience.

SOIL SETUP

• Soil setup is a time dependent increase in the static

pile resistance

• Large excess positive pore pressures are often

generated during pile driving

• Soil setup frequently occurs for piles driven in

saturated clays as well as loose to medium dense

silts and fine sands as the excess pore pressure

dissipate

• Magnitude of setup depends on soil characteristics

and pile material and type

56

Point Bearing on Rock

(Article 10.7.3.2)

• Soft rock that can be penetrated by pile driving may be treated similar to soils.

• Steel piles driven into soft rock may not require tip reinforcement.

• On hard rock the nominal resistance is controlled by the structural capacity. See Article 6.9.4.1 and the driving resistances in 6.5.4.2 and 6.15 for severe driving.

• PDA should be used when the nominal resistance exceeds 600 kips.

• C10.7.3.2.3 Provides qualitative guidance to minimize pile damage when driving piles on hard rock.

1.00 for all extreme checks.)

Piles Subject to Scour

10.5.5.3.2

61

Seismic – Articles 10.7.4, 10.5.5.3.3

• Liquefaction: Neglect axial resistance in

liquefiable zone

• Lateral Spreading: Either consider forces due

to lateral spreading or improve ground;

reduce P-y curve based on duration of strong

shaking and ability of the ground to fully

liquefy during strong shaking

• Downdrag: Do not combine “seismic”

downdrag with “static” downdrag

• Identified by soil resistivity & pH testing

• If pH < 4.5, design should be based on an aggressive environment

• Corrosion of steel pile foundations, particularly in fill soils, low pH soils and marine environments

• Sulfate, chloride, and acid attack of concrete pile foundations

• Decay of timber piles from wetting and drying cycles from insects and marine borers

• pH < 5.5

• pH between 5.5 and 8.5 in soils with high

organic content

• Sulfates > 1,000 ppm

• Landfills and cinder fills

• Soils subject to mine or industrial drainage

• Areas of mixed resistivity (high and low)

5th Edition 2010 Changes Sec 10.5

• Specification references to changes in resistance factors based on

pile group size moved to the commentary.

• The definition of foundation redundancy (in commentary) was

simplified.

• Tables relating resistance factor to site variability were removed from

the specifications and decisions were deferred to the engineer. The

site variability method was retained as an acceptable option to aid in

engineering judgment.

• Precaution for static analysis predictions for piles greater than 24“

was added.

• The resulting changes based on the above was a modest increase

for several resistance factors.

72

5th Edition 2010 Changes Sec 10.7

• Use of dynamic tests with signal matching to estimate side friction

were added as a reasonable alternative to static analysis methods or

load testing.

• Table 10.7.2.4-1, small adjustments in the p-multipliers for group

lateral load analysis.

• Provisions for piles driven to hard rock (Article 10.7.3.2) were made

more complete.

• Article 10.7.3.3 changed to clarify the use and potential pitfalls of the

approaches provided to estimate the pile length required.

• Article C10.7.3.4.3, guidance added regarding the length of time

needed for various soil conditions before a restrike should be

attempted.

73

Table 10.5.5.2.3-1

Resistance Factors for Driven Piles

• Static Load Test with Dynamic Tests – 0.80 (minimum test number 2 and minimum percentage 2% of tests)

• Static Load Test without Dynamic Tests – 0.75

• Dynamic Testing 100% production piles – 0.75

• Dynamic Tests – 0.65 (minimum test number 2 and

minimum percentage 2% of tests)

• Wave Equation – 0.50
