42 CPT Direct Design Methods Under Consideration : Schmertmann, 1978 De Ruiter and Beringen, 1979 Bustamante and Gianeselli (LCPC), 1982, The "French Method" Aoki and De Alencar, 1975 Penpile (MissDOT), Clisby et al., 1978 Philipponnat, 1980 Price and Wardle, 1982 CPT Direct Design 42
43 CPT Direct Design Methods Under Consideration: Tumay and Fakhroo, 1982 Almeida et al., 1996 Eslami and Fellenius, 1997 Jardine and Chow (MTD), 1996 Powell et al., 2001 UWA-05 (Lehane et al.), 2005 Zhou et al., 1982 CPT Direct Design 43
44 CPT Direct Design 44
45 CPT Direct Design 45
46 CPT Direct Design What do we really want? Accuracy is nice, but getting CLOSE to the target only counts in horseshoes and hand-grenades! If you are CLOSE to safety, but not quite there, you still have a failure! Overprediction = Unconservatism! CPT Direct Design 46
47 CPT Direct Design 47
48 CPT Direct Design 48
49 CPT Direct Design 49
50 CPT Direct Design 50
51 CPT Direct Design What do we really want? Best predictor of driven pile quantities! Spot-on prediction is the best but unlikely. Overprediction of capacity = quantity underrun Underprediction of capacity = excess quantity Underruns cost 2.5x the cost of overruns We want to waste the least cost in failure to predict the exact capacity (least wastage) CPT Direct Design 51
52 CPT Direct Design 52
53 CPT Direct Design 53
54 CPT Direct Design Methods we cut out right away: Tumay and Fakhroo, 1982 Almeida et al., 1996 Eslami and Fellenius, 1997 All 3 tend to greatly over-predict capacity Zhou et al., 1982 Does not predict ultimate capacity; assumes a drilled shaft load-deflection behavior CPT Direct Design 54
55 CPT Direct Design Methods we cut out right away: Jardine and Chow (MTD), 1996 UWA-05 (Lehane et al.), 2005 Both are quite complicated, and are not really CPT direct design methods. They both require additional inputs that cannot be derived through CPT probing, but need additional soil testing. CPT Direct Design 55
56 CPT Direct Design Methods using minimum path rule: Schmertmann, 1978 De Ruiter and Beringen, 1979 Tumay and Fakhroo, 1982 The Minimum Path Rule is is a graphical method that cannot be easily computerized, and is nearly impossible to implement in a spreadsheet solution. CPT Direct Design 56
57 Minimum Path Rule 57
58 CPT Direct Design Methods we reviewed further: Bustamante and Gianeselli (LCPC), 1982 Aoki and De Alencar, 1975 Philipponnat, 1980 Penpile (MissDOT), Clisby et al., 1978 Price and Wardle, 1982 Powell et al., 2001 CPT Direct Design 58
59 CPT Direct Design Equations tend to be in the form of: q s = αq c or αf s for Side Resistance q p = kq c for Tip Resistance α and k are generally functions of soil type and/or pile type CPT Direct Design 59

67 ? CPT Direct Design 67
68 CPT Direct Design Uses scaling of direct in-situ test data However, φ cpt =? Right now, AASHTO gives φ stat = 0.50 for CPT direct design with the Schmertmann method However, φ stat = 0.50 < φ dyn = 0.70 which penalizes CPT direct design compared to conventional design using SPT. CPT Direct Design 68
69 CPT Indirect Design Uses correlation to soil properties Eliminates the advantages of CPT Direct Design through multiple levels of correlation We consider this to be approximately equal to conventional design using SPT Use φ dyn = 0.70 per ODOT Bridge Design Manual Section b CPT Indirect Design 69
70 CPT Indirect Design We are utilizing the following items: Soil Behavior Type (SBT) I c, Soil Behavior Type Index S u, undrained shear strength ϕ, effective internal friction angle N 60, SPT blow count normalized at ER 60% γ, total soil unit weight Axial Resistance Software: DRIVEN, APILE, etc. CPT Indirect Design 70
71 CPT Indirect Design 71
72 Granular, Coarse Grained Cohesive, Fine Grained CPT Indirect Design 72
73 I c, Soil Behavior Type Index I c = (( log Q t ) 2 + (log F r ) 2 ) 0.5 Q t = normalized cone penetration resistance (dimensionless) = (q t σ vo )/σ vo F r = Normalized Friction Ratio (%) = (f s /(q t σ vo )) x 100% I c is used in various other correlations CPT Indirect Design 73
74 I c, Soil Behavior Type Index Generally, I c < 1.5 = Gravel to Sandy Gravel (A-1) I c = = Sand to Silty Sand (A-3) I c = = Sandy Silt to Silt (A-4) I c = = Silt and Clay to Silty Clay (A-6) I c > 3.0 = Clay (A-7) I c = 2.0 is the approximate dividing line between Granular and Cohesive soils CPT Indirect Design 74
75 Cohesive Soils Various correlations exist for Su, Peak Shear Strength However, we consider Peak Shear Strength to be unconservative for design of Driven Piles Instead, we use Remolded Shear Strength S u = f s = Sleeve Friction This gives a close agreement with conventional design using SPT correlations CPT Indirect Design 75
76 Granular Soils Various correlations exist for ϕ, Peak Friction Angle However, we consider Peak Friction Angle to be unconservative for design of Driven Piles, giving values up to 166% of what could be expected with SPT correlations Instead, we are correlating ϕ, effective internal friction angle, to N 60 and N1 60, based on AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications Article CPT Indirect Design 76
77 SPT N 60 Correlation We use a correlation developed by Robertson (2012): (qt/pa)/n 60 = 10 ( Ic) q t = Corrected Tip Resistance = q c + u 2 (1-a) p a = Atmospheric Pressure I c = Soil Behavior Type Index CPT Indirect Design 77
78 γ, Total Soil Unit Weight We use a correlation developed by Robertson (2010): γ/γ w = 0.27 [log R f ] [log(q t /p a )] R f = Friction Ratio = (f s /q t ) x 100% γ w = Unit Weight of Water p a = Atmospheric Pressure CPT Indirect Design 78
