Objectives

The overall goal of the proposed research project is to develop LRFD recommendations for driven piles on IGM. Recognizing the design and construction challenges of piles driven on IGM, the research project is proposed to accomplish the following objectives: 1) Determine representative engineering properties of soil and IGM; 2) Evaluate the variability of soil and IGM properties; 3) Recommend best geotechnical investigation practices for IGM; 4) Develop advanced static analysis methods for pile resistance estimation on IGM; 5) Validate and improve the accuracy of dynamic analysis methods; 6) Investigate pile setup and/or relaxation; 7) Develop LRFD resistance factors for piles on IGM; and 8) Recommend changes and improvements to current pile design and construction practices.

Scope of Work

The research program was established based on the aforementioned research goals and objectives. The research objectives will be achieved by completing two phases and fourteen major tasks. PHASE I: Data Collection, Geotechnical Investigation and Pile Load Test Program Task I-1: Historical Pile Data Collection (UW & CU) Task I-2: Expand Electronic Database (UW) Task I-3: Identify Bridge Projects for Field Test Program (UW, CU and DOTs) Task I-4: Detailed Geotechnical Investigation (UW, CU & DOTs) Task I-5: CDOT-CU Innovative Static Pile Load Tests (CU, CDOT, DOTs, & UW) Task I-6: Reporting (UW & CU) PHASE II: Data Interpretation, Pile Resistance Estimation, Statistical Analysis, CostBenefit Analysis and Recommendations Task II-1: Geotechnical and Pile Data Interpretation (UW & CU) Task II-2: Pile Resistance Estimation (UW & CU) Task II-2-1: Static Analysis Methods (CU) Task II-2-2: Wave Equation Analysis using WEAP (UW Task II-3: Pile Setup/Relaxation Investigation (UW & CU) Task II-4: Variability Analysis (UW) Task II-5: Development of LRFD Resistance Factors (UW) Task II-6: Cost-Benefit Analysis (CU) Task II-7: Outcomes and Recommendations (UW & CU) Task II-8: Reporting (UW & CU)
