Abstract:The Maine Department of Transportation (MaineDOT) has noted poor correlation between predicted pile resistances
calculated using commonly accepted design methods and measured pile resistance from dynamic pile load tests (also
referred to as high strain dynamic tests) conducted in accordance with ASTM D-4945. This report details Phase I of
a two phase project that aims to analyze dynamic load test data for piles driven into Maine soils in order to improve
calculation methods used in the design phase. The purpose of Phase I was to collect and compile information about
pile driving projects from around the state into a comprehensive database. The MaineDOT can designers can then
search the database for projects and/or piles of interest. The finished database includes information about the project
location, pile material and dimensions, driving system, soil materials and strengths, and pile capacities determined
from testing.
