• Abstract:
  In response to the mandate on Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) implementations by the Federal Highway Administration
  
  (FHWA) on all new bridge projects initiated after October 1, 2007, the Iowa Highway Research Board (IHRB) sponsored these research
  
  projects to develop regional LRFD recommendations.
  
  The LRFD development was performed using the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) Pile Load Test database (PILOT). To
  
  increase the data points for LRFD development, develop LRFD recommendations for dynamic methods, and validate the results of
  
  LRFD calibration, 10 full-scale field tests on the most commonly used steel H-piles (e.g., HP 10 x 42) were conducted throughout Iowa.
  
  Detailed in situ soil investigations were carried out, push-in pressure cells were installed, and laboratory soil tests were performed. Pile
  
  responses during driving, at the end of driving (EOD), and at re-strikes were monitored using the Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA),
  
  following with the CAse Pile Wave Analysis Program (CAPWAP) analysis. The hammer blow counts were recorded for Wave Equation
  
  Analysis Program (WEAP) and dynamic formulas.
  
  Static load tests (SLTs) were performed and the pile capacities were determined based on the Davisson’s criteria. The extensive
  
  experimental research studies generated important data for analytical and computational investigations. The SLT measured loaddisplacements
  
  were compared with the simulated results obtained using a model of the TZPILE program and using the modified
  
  borehole shear test method. Two analytical pile setup quantification methods, in terms of soil properties, were developed and validated.
  
  A new calibration procedure was developed to incorporate pile setup into LRFD.
