Abstract:The Demonstration Project 910, "Design and Construction of Driven Pile Foundations," equipment includes the demonstration of a dynamic pile testing system which uses a field computer and a mobile pile load testing frame. Even though the project is yet to be announced, the equipment and personnel are made available to a requesting State highway department. A request for the demonstration and use of equipment for the subject project was received from the Washington State Department of Transportation (WashDOT). The request came through the F1iWA division and regional offices in November 1983. The field work was performed by Mr. H. Clark, Civil Engineering Technician, in the Demonstration Projects Division, and Mr. S. Vanikar, Highway Engineer. The mobile load frame was used for the first time on a construction project and Mr. Rex Cocroft provided services as a: consultant during the load tests. Mr. Cocroft is the designer of the load frame and the load frame mixificationswere performed under his supervision during the last year. After the dynamic pile testing was completed, an informal presentation on the results of the analysis was made to the WashDOT geotechnical engineers on March 26, 1983. The data recorded on the magnetic tapes has been forwarded to Pile Dynamics, Incorporated, Cleveland, Ohio, for further analysis including "CAPWAP" analysis. The results of the "CAPWAP" analysis will be provided to the WashDOT as soon as they are received. A detailed description of the work performed, results, and analysis follow in this report.
