Session Title
INDOT/Purdue Pile Driving Method for Estimation of Axial Capacity
Track Title
Design and Construction
Event Description/Abstract
This presentation discusses the new pile driving analysis method. Models for both base and shaft dynamic resistances that account for soil nonlinearity, both radiation and hysteric damping, and rate effects on soil strength will be presented. The analysis is validated through well-documented field tests on instrumented piles. The predictions from the proposed formulas will be compared with the results from static load tests and dynamic load test. Driven pile capacity results from two projects, one on SR 55 in Lake County and the other on US 31 in Marshall County, will be discussed.
