19 Downdrag on Pile Groups
20 Downdrag on Pile Groups After Okabe, 1977
21 Reduction Factors for Downdrag in Pile Groups
22 PILENEG - Developed at Texas A&M University - Analyzes axially-loaded single piles under both positive and negative skin friction - Bitumen coated piles can also be analyzed with the program
23 PILENEG Inputs - Top load on pile - Pile data (cross section area of the pile, pile perimeter, embedded pile length, pile modulus) - Soil data (profile of maximum friction, soil settlement profile, soil modulus and Poisson s ratio at point, ultimate bearing pressure at point)
24
25 PILENEG Outputs - Top load, top settlement, depth of bitumen coating, depth to neutral point, maximum load, maximum stress and pile point load

28 WHAT IS BITUMEN? A black viscous substance. The residue left at the end of the refining process of crude oil, made of high molecular weight hydrocarbons WHAT IS A PRIMER? A liquid made of half bitumen and half solvent to liquefy the bitumen for easy application and filling the holes. The layer left is largely the bitumen after drying.
29 Behavior of Bitumen Bitumen is a viscous material τ = η (dγ/dt)
30 τ = η (dγ/dt)
31 τ = η (dγ/dt) η decreases when dγ/dt increases dγ/dt x 10 leads to ~ η / 2 η decreases when T increases T x 2 leads to ~ η / 10 η much more sensitive to T than dγ/dt
32 Bitumen Selection τ = η (dγ/dt) SOIL Storing Driving Downdrag Particle penetration
33 Storage Criterion req( storage ) gtd h 2 ρ = Bitumen mass density g = Acceleration due to gravity t = Max anticipated storage period d = Bitumen coating thickness h = Allowable bitumen flow distance (usually taken as equal to d) Storage requires: η > η req(storage)
34 req( driving, air ) a a Driving Criterion vd ρ = Bitumen mass density v a = Velocity of bitumen in the air (taken as the velocity of the hammer at time of impact) d = Bitumen coating thickness h = Allowable bitumen flow distance (usually taken as equal to d) f max = Maximum friction t = Max anticipated storage period a h 2 req( driving, soil ) s max Driving in air requires: η > η req(driving, air) f h td Driving in soil requires: η > η req(driving, soil)
35 Downdrag Criterion req( downdrag ) d d τ bit = Allowable shear stress on bitumen (τ bit ~ 0.1 τ s,avg ) τ s,avg = Soil shear strength d = Bitumen coating thickness s = Settlement rate s 1, s 2 = Settlements of the ground surface at times t 1 and t 2, respectively (after placement of an embankment or other load) bit bit bit s s s2 s1 t t 2 1 Downdrag requires: η < η req(driving)
36 Particle Penetration Criterion ' H K ' OV FOR DRIVEN PILES: K = 1 FOR BORED PILES: K = K 0 = (1-sinΦ)OCR 0.5
37 Bitumen Design Criteria Summary
38 EXAMPLE: Find allowable top load for a top settlement < 14 mm 1) Pile Ult. Capacity Q u = (25x1.2x30) Q u = = 1900 kn
39 EXAMPLE: 2) Assume a top load = 500 kn and find the maximum depth to NP X = (900 - X) X = 700 kn or 23.3 m of friction ω NP(soil) = 35 mm (settlement profile) ω top = 35+(850*23300)/(0.09*2E7) = 46 mm (This is more than the allowable settlement)
40 EXAMPLE: 3) Assume a top load = 100 kn and NP = 29 m Q p = = 940 kn ω p = 4.7 mm ω NP(pile) = (955*1000)/(0.09*2E7) = 5.2 mm ~ ω NP(soil) ω top = 5 + (535*29000)/(0.09*2E7) = 13.6 mm
41 EXAMPLE: 4) Use bitumen coating with shear strength = 2.5 kn/m 2 and try a top load of 500 kn (Assume NP = 29 m) ω NP(soil) = 5 mm Q p = = 557 kn ω p = 2.8 mm ω top = 5 + (543.5*29)/(0.09*2E7)*(1000) = 13.8 mm
42 ω top = 46 mm ω top = 14 mm ω top = 14 mm with bitumen

48 Applying the bitumen (10 mm thick)
49 APPLYING BITUMEN COATING OUTSIDE IN THE COLD BITUMEN BECOMES BRITTLE DUE TO COATING OUTDOORS
50 Handling in the field
51 Storing the coated piles In hot weather, store under cover away from direct sunlight In cold weather, wait until bitumen cools down before storing
52 Driving the piles (splice, temperature)
53 AVERAGE ANNUAL AIR TEMPERATURE = SOIL TEMPERATURE
54 General Observations 1. Downdrag does not reduce the ultimate capacity of a pile 2. Downdrag increases the load in the pile 3. Downdrag increases the settlement of a pile; downdrag is a case where settlement controls the pile design 4. Live loads should not be included in settlement calculations including downdrag
55 General Observations 6. Downdrag makes a pile come out of the ground 7. Bitumen reduces downdrag significantly (90%?) when properly chosen and properly applied 8. Bitumen is most easily applied when the air is colder than the soil (winter) but when the temperature is above freezing 9. Piles located on the inside of a pile group experience less downdrag than the perimeter piles
