Abstract:A statistical analysis and ranking criteria were used to compare the CPT methods and the conventional alpha design method. Based on the results, the de Ruiter/Beringen and LCPC methods showed the best capability in predicting the measured load carrying capacity of PPC piles driven into Louisiana soils. To facilitate the implementation of the CPT technology by LA DOTD for pile design and analysis, these methods, along with the Schmertmann method, were coded into a Visual Basic MS-Windows program (Louisiana Pile Design by CPT, LPDCPT). The program provides the design engineers with pile ultimate capacity profile with depth.
