LOAD TRANSFER FOR PIPE POLES IN HIGHLY PRESSURED DENSE SAND

Experiments were made to study unit load transfer development in piles in submerged, dense, clean sand in a known state of ambient effective stress, and specifically to ascertain whether the open-toe piles developed a plug during driving that could be reliably used in computing toe resistance over the full cross-sectional area of the pile. The study also ascertained if observed values of shaft and toe resistance could be related to effective soil stresses prior to driving, and if changes in toe geometry in open-toe piles produced any appreciable effect on static load transfer. The study found that the ultimate shaft resistance in compression was approximately equal to the lateral effective stress in the soil column prior to driving. Other findings are also discussed.
