Abstract:

This report and the accompanying computer code (Software, WBUZPILE) describe the ; characterization and analysis of piles under axial loads. A combination of different formulas ; obtained from ALDOT long time experience along with fundamental equations of deep ; foundations are employed in this program to assess the axial capacity of driven piles. The report ; focuses on the entry of input data, interpretation of the output results and description of the ; employed soils and equations. In addition to sand and clay models developed by ALDOT, the ; report presents modeling formula for silt soils that include sandy silt and clayey silt and ; weathered rock (soft rock). The current program analysis allows the utilization of the LRFD ; approach that determines the geotechnical resistance factor based on the calibration by fitting as ; presented in Chapter 1. In addition to the use of varying values of safety factors and DL/LL, the ; program user can also use a default resistance factor of 0.71 which is based on a commonly used ; safety factor of 2 and DL/LL ratio of 2 as recommended by ALDOT.
