  • Abstract:
    Field demonstrations for Demonstration Project No. 66, "Design and Construction of Driven Pile Foundations," include Cl) dynamic pile monitoring by pile analyzer (field computer), and (2) static pile load testing using a mobile pile load testing frame. The equipment and technical assistance are made available to requesting State transportation departments and Direct Federal Divisions . In April 1988, a request for demonstrating the pile analyzer on a construction project was received from the Alaska Department of Transportation. Alaska Department of Transportation (AK-DOT) had selected the pier location for the Geist Road Extension in Fairbanks as the site of the dynamic tests. The purpose for dynamic testing was (1) to demonstrate the use of newer and more accurate techniques for determining pile load capacity during driving (2) to determine the ultimate pile load capacity for the subject bridge and (3) to use CAPWAP computer analysis to evaluate the dynamic testing data obtained from the uncommonly used pile section (30 inch diameter steel pile with a 2-inch thick steel plate located approximately thirty feet above the pile tip). The field work was performed on May 19 and 20, 1988, by Mr. H. Clark, Civil Engineering Technician, in the Demonstration Projects Division. On May 20th results of the analysis and recommendations were discussed with Mr. Monte Weaver, Chief of Geotechnical services and several project engineers of AK-DOT. A CAPWAP computer analysis of the dynamic measurement data was conducted in early July. A detailed description of the work performed, test results, data analysis, and conclusions follow in the report.
