Geotechnical Engineering Circular No. 12 Design and Construction of Driven Pile Foundations - Comprehensive Design Examples

This document presents comprehensive design examples for driven pile foundations on highway structures. The worked design examples supplement the material presented in FHWA-NHI-16-009 and FHWA-NHI-16-010, the primary Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) guidance documents on driven pile foundations. The worked Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) design examples address strength, service and extreme limit state considerations for a two span bridge structure in highly variable subsurface conditions. Pile foundation design examples in cohesionless, cohesive, and layered soil profiles are presented as well as pile design on hard rock. The worked examples follow the step by step design and construction process outlined in Chapter 2 of FHWA-NHI-16-009 (Geotechnical Engineering Circular No. 12 – Volume I Design and Construction of Driven Pile Foundations). .
