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!

Combining Geotechnical Resistance Factors
• C10.7.3.3 φdyn x Rn = φ stat x Rnstat
• The length predicted by this method may be
overly conservative and need to be adjusted
to reflect experience.
• Local experience replaces this suggested
relationship.
54
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.

10.5.5.3
• Scour
• Vessel and Vehicle collision
• Seismic loading and site specific situations.
(Uplift Resistance should be 0.80 rather than
1.00 for all extreme checks.)
60
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

10.7.5 Corrosion and Deterioration
• 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
64
Aggressive Subsurface Environments
• Resistivity < 2000 ohms-cm
• 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)
• Insects (wood piles)
65
Pile Driving Induced Vibrations

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.

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
