• 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.
