Abstract:There are many factors that influence the skin friction capacity of steel Hand closed ended pipe (CEP) piles driven into sands. As part of a bridge replacement program near Texas gulf coast, we evaluated the performance of various design methodologies for predicting driven pile shaft resistance in sands. We predicted the shaft resistance of steel Hand CEP piles at one bridge location using the SPT Method (Meyerhof, 1979), FHWA DRIVEN computer program, and WEAP-SPT Method. The actual pile shaft resistances were… Show more
