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.
