ANALYSIS OF PILE LOADING TESTS ON A SINGLE TREATED TIMBER PILE EMBEDDED IN GLACIAL LAKE AGASSIZ CLAY

TWO LOAD TESTS ON A TREATED TIMBER PILE DRIVEN INTO LAKE AGASSIZ CLAY WERE CARRIED OUT; THE FIRST TEST ON A PILE DRIVEN TO 25 FEET OF PENETRATION AND THE SECOND TEST ON THE SAME PILE DRIVEN TO 55 FEET ON PENETRATION. THE ALLOWABLE CAPACITY OF THE PILE SHOULD BE TAKEN AS ONE HALF OF THE ESTIMATED ULTIMATE CAPACITY OF THE PILE WHERE THE MAXIMUN SUSTAINING LOAD IS CLOSELY EQUAL TO THE ULTIMATE CAPACITY. /CGRA/
