DISCUSSION OF PROCEDURES FOR THE DETERMINATION OF PILE CAPACITY

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) uses the following methods in determining pile capacity: static analysis, "Engineering News" driving formula, static load tests, dynamic load tests, wave equation program, and Case pile wave analysis program. The ODOT's procedures in using these methods are discussed in this paper along with a case history. A preview of responses from a survey on pile testing and installation practices is also presented. The need to load test and to document load test results is emphasized.
