    • Abstract:
      Piles that support bridge structures are designed for the specific site characteristics and loads

      that the piles are expected to bear. In Florida, driven piles are monitored during installation

      (“dynamically” tested) to assess resistance, compressive, and tensile stresses and to provide

      production pile lengths and driving criteria

      based on test pile findings (depth to bearing

      layer, required hammer settings, etc.). Dynamic

      load testing of driven piles is cost effective

      and has proven to be a reliable alternative to

      static load testing. Conventional dynamic load

      testing has historically been performed by

      climbing the leads to connect instrumentation

      (strain gauges and accelerometers) to the

      pile head after the pile has been raised into

      position. The current effort focused on the

      Embedded Data Collector (EDC) system, originally developed through research funded by the

      Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and consisting of gauges cast into concrete piles,

      eliminating the need for climbing leads on site. The system uses wireless technology to transmit

      data to a receiver on the ground.
