• Abstract:
  Among the different in situ tests, cone penetration test (CPT) is considered the most frequently used method for characterization of geomedia. Due to the soft nature of soil deposits in Louisiana, the CPT is considered a perfect tool for characterization of Louisiana soils. ; In deep foundation analysis and design, implementation of the CPT by DOTD has been limited to identification of dense sand layers required to support the tip of the end-bearing driven piles. Moreover, DOTD uses the CPT to provide a supplemental subsurface information between soil borings. ; The goal of this research was to identify the most appropriate methods for estimating the ultimate axial load carrying capacity of driven piles from the cone penetration test data.
