| Summary: | Driven piles are the most common foundation solution used in bridge construction (Paikowsky et al., 2004). Their safe use requires to reliable verification of their capacity and integrity. Dynamic analyses of driven piles are methods attempting to obtain the static capacity of a pile, utilizing its behavior during driving. Dynamic equations (aka pile driving formulas) are the earliest and simplest forms of dynamic analyses. The development and the examination of such equation tailored for MnDOT demands is presented. In phase I of the study reported by Paikowsky et al. (2009, databases were utilized to investigate previous MnDOT (and other) dynamic formulas and use object oriented programming for linear regression to develop a new formula that was then calibrated for LRFD methodology and evaluated for its performance. This report presents the findings of phase II of the study in which a comprehensive investigation of the Phase I findings were conducted. The studies lead to the development of dynamic formulae suitable for MnDOT foundation practices, its calibrated resistance factors and its application to concrete and timber piles. Phase II of the study also expanded on related issues associated with Wave Equation analyses and static load tests, assisting the MnDOT in establishing requirements and specifications. |
