Static and Dynamic Analysis of Driven Piles in Soft Rocks Considering LRFD Using a Recently Developed Electronic Database

Characterization of model uncertainty in predicting axial resistance of piles driven into clay

“…In the United States, the nationwide survey of AbdelSalam et al(2012)indicated that the resistance factors were mainly derived by fitting to the factor of safety based on the experience. Recently, more state Department of Transportation in the United States calibrated the region-specific resistance factors by reliability theory such as California (Caltrans 2014), Indiana (Salgado et al 2011), Iowa (AbdelSalam et al 2012), Louisiana (Abu-Farsakh et al 2009), Illinois (Long and Anderson 2014), Missouri (Luna 2014),Minnesota(Paikowsky et al 2014), Texas (Seo et al 2015, and Wyoming(Adhikari et al 2018).…”
