Design, driveability, driving and dynamic testing of large diameter close ended steel tube piles for a pedestrian bridge

The Matagarup bridge connects East Perth to the Burswood Peninsula and the new Perth Stadium. The bridge is approximately 65 m high, 370 m long with a 165 m long cable stayed central span. The bridge is supported on two river piers and two piers on land. A total of forty-eight 1.05 m and 1.2 m diameter close ended steel tube piles were driven to support the piers. This paper presents the results of driveability assessments carried out to assess the feasibility of driving the steel tube piles close ended. Closed ends were used because the specification required open steel tubes to be mucked out and filled with reinforced concrete for long term durability. The results of the driveability assessments are compared with the actual pile driving results and the results obtained from end of drive and restrike dynamic pile testing.
