1 11.1 Pile Load Tests 585 Pile settlement may increase with load to a certain point, beyond which the load settlement curve becomes vertical. The load corresponding to the point where the curve of Q versus s net becomes vertical is the ultimate load, Q u, for the pile; it is shown by curve 1 in Figure 11.3c. In many cases, the latter stage of the load settlement curve is almost linear, showing a large degree of settlement for a small increment of load; this is shown by curve in the figure. The ultimate load, Q u, for such a case is determined from the point of the curve of Q versus s net where this steep linear portion starts. One of the methods to obtain the ultimate load Q u from the load-settlement plot is that proposed by Davisson (1973). Davisson s method is used more often in the field and is described here. Referring to Figure 11., the ultimate load occurs at a settlement level (s u ) of s u (mm) D r 1 0.1a D D r b 1 Q ul A p E p (11.67) where Q u is in kn D is in mm D r 5 reference pile diameter or width ( 5 300mm) L 5 pile length (mm) A of pile cross section (mm p 5 area ) E p 5 Young s modulus of pile material (kn>mm ) Q u 0.1 D r D/D r Load, Q (kn) Q u L AE Eq.

2 586 Chapter 11: Pile Foundations The application of this procedure is shown in Example The load test procedure just described requires the application of step loads on the piles and the measurement of settlement and is called a load-controlled test. Another technique used for a pile load test is the constant-rate-of-penetration test, wherein the load on the pile is continuously increased to maintain a constant rate of penetration, which can vary from 0.5 to.5 mm>min (0.01 to 0.1 in.>min). This test gives a load settlement plot similar to that obtained from the load-controlled test. Another type of pile load test is cyclic loading, in which an incremental load is repeatedly applied and removed. In order to conduct a load test on piles, it is important to take into account the time lapse after the end of driving (EOD). When piles are driven into soft clay, a certain zone surrounding the clay becomes remolded or compressed, as shown in Figure 11.5a. This results in a reduction of undrained shear strength, c u (Figure 11.5b). With time, the loss of undrained shear strength is partially or fully regained. The time lapse may range from 30 to 60 days. For piles driven in dilative (dense to very dense) saturated fine sands, relaxation is possible. Negative pore water pressure, if developed during pile driving, will dissipate over time, resulting in a reduction in pile capacity with time after the driving operation is completed. At the same time, excess pore water pressure may be generated in contractive fine Pile Remolded zone Compressed zone Intact zone 1.5 D 0.5 D D diameter 0.5 D 1.5 D (a) c u Remolded zone Compressed zone Intact zone Sometime after driving Immediately after driving (b) Distance from pile Figure 11.5 (a) Remolded or compacted zone around a pile driven into soft clay; (b) Nature of variation of undrained shear strength (c u ) with time around a pile driven into soft clay

Several empirical relationships have been developed to predict changes in pile capacity with time.

(See Figure 11.1c.) The degree of distribution of the soil s reaction depends on (a) the stiffness of the pile, (b) the stiffness of the soil, and (c) the fixity of the ends of the pile. In general, laterally loaded piles can be divided into two major categories: (1) short or rigid piles and () long or elastic piles. Figures 11.7a and 11.7b show the nature of the variation of the pile deflection and the distribution of the moment and shear force along the pile length when the pile is subjected to lateral loading. We next summarize the current solutions for laterally loaded piles. Elastic Solution A general method for determining moments and displacements of a vertical pile embedded in a granular soil and subjected to lateral load and moment at the ground surface was given by Matlock and Reese (1960). Consider a pile of length L subjected to a lateral force Q g and

Figure 11.8b shows the general deflected shape of the pile and the soil resistance caused by the applied load and the moment. According to a simpler Winkler s model, an elastic medium (soil in this case) can be replaced by a series of infinitely close independent elastic springs. Based on this assumption, where k 5 modulus of subgrade reaction pr 5 pressure on soil x 5 deflection k 5 pr(kn>m) x(m) The subgrade modulus for granular soils at a depth z is defined as k z 5 n h z (11.80) (11.81) where n h 5 constant of modulus of horizontal subgrade reaction. Referring to Figure 11.8b and using the theory of beams on an elastic foundation, we can write d x E p I p (11.8) dz 5 pr where E p 5 modulus of elasticity in the pile material I p 5 moment of inertia of the pile section Based on Winkler s model pr 5kx (11.83) The sign in Eq.

(11.81) 5 Å 5 E pi p n h (11.90) When L $ 5T, the pile is considered to be a long pile. For L # T, the pile is considered to be a rigid pile. Table 11.1 gives the values of the coefficients for long piles (L>T $ 5) in Eqs. (11.85) through (11.89). Note that, in the first column of the table, Z 5 z T (11.91) is the nondimensional depth. The positive sign conventions for x z (z), u z (z), M z (z), V z (z), and p z r(z) assumed in the derivations in Table 11.1 are shown in Figure 11.8c. Figure 11.9 shows the variation of A x, B x, A m, and B m for various values of L>T 5 Z max. It indicates that, when L>T is greater than about 5, the coefficients do not change, which is true of long piles only. Calculating the characteristic length T for the pile requires assuming a proper value of n h. Table gives some representative values.

Broms s solution for calculating the ultimate load resistance, Q u(g), for short piles is given in Figure 11.31a. A similar solution for piles embedded in cohesive soil is shown in Figure 11.31b.

This requirement cannot always be satisfied by driving a pile to a predetermined depth, because soil profiles vary. For that reason, several equations have been developed to calculate the ultimate capacity of a pile during driving. These dynamic equations are widely used in the field to determine whether a pile has reached a satisfactory bearing value at the predetermined depth. One of the earliest such equations commonly referred to as the Engineering News (EN) Record formula is derived from the work energy theory. That is, Energy imparted by the hammer per blow 5 (pile resistance)(penetration per hammer blow) According to the EN formula, the pile resistance is the ultimate load Q u, expressed as Q u 5 W Rh S 1 C (11.105) where W R 5 weight of the ram h 5 height of fall of the ram S 5 penetration of pile per hammer blow C 5 a constant
23 11.17 Pile-Driving Formulas 607 The pile penetration, S, is usually based on the average value obtained from the last few driving blows. In the equation s original form, the following values of C were recommended: For drop hammers, For steam hammers, C 5 5. mm if S and h are in mm C 5.5 mm if S and h are in mm Also, a factor of safety FS 5 6 was recommended for estimating the allowable pile capacity. Note that, for single- and double-acting hammers, the term W R h can be replaced by EH E, where E is the efficiency of the hammer and H E is the rated energy of the hammer. Thus, Q u 5 EH E S 1 C (11.106) The EN formula has been revised several times over the years, and other pile-driving formulas also have been suggested. Three of the other relationships generally used are tabulated in Table The maximum stress developed on a pile during the driving operation can be estimated from the pile-driving formulas presented in Table To illustrate, we use the modified EN formula: Q u 5 EW Rh S 1 C W R 1 n W p W R 1 W p In this equation, S is the average penetration per hammer blow, which can also be expressed as S 5 5.

Actual driving stresses in wooden piles are limited to about 0.7f u. Similarly, for concrete and steel piles, driving stresses are limited to about 0.6f c r and 0.85f y, respectively. In most cases, wooden piles are driven with a hammer energy of less than 60 kn-m. Driving resistances are limited mostly to to 5 blows per inch of pile penetration. For concrete and steel piles, the usual values of N are 6 to 8 and 1 to 1, respectively.

As mentioned there, the driver essentially consists of two counterrotating weights. The amplitude of the centrifugal driving force generated by a vibratory hammer can be given as F c 5 mev (11.109) where m 5 total eccentric rotating mass e 5 distance between the center of each rotating mass and the center of rotation v5operating circular frequency Vibratory hammers typically include an isolated bias weight that can range from to 0 kn. The bias weight is isolated from oscillation by springs, so it acts as a net downward load helping the driving efficiency by increasing the penetration rate of the pile. The use of vibratory pile drivers began in the early 1930s. Installing piles with vibratory drivers produces less noise and damage to the pile, compared with impact driving. However, because of a limited understanding of the relationships between the load, the rate of penetration, and the bearing capacity of piles, this method has not gained popularity in the United States.
28 61 Chapter 11: Pile Foundations Vibratory pile drivers are patented. Some examples are the Bodine Resonant Driver (BRD), the Vibro Driver of the McKiernan-Terry Corporation, and the Vibro Driver of the L. B. Foster Company.

Such a force can exist under the following conditions, among others: 1. If a fill of clay soil is placed over a granular soil layer into which a pile is driven, the fill will gradually consolidate. The consolidation process will exert a downward drag force on the pile (see Figure 11.35a) during the period of consolidation.. If a fill of granular soil is placed over a layer of soft clay, as shown in Figure 11.35b, it will induce the process of consolidation in the clay layer and thus exert a downward drag on the pile. 3. Lowering of the water table will increase the vertical effective stress on the soil at any depth, which will induce consolidation settlement in clay. If a pile is located in the clay layer, it will be subjected to a downward drag force. z Clay fill H f Sand fill H f L L L 1 Sand z Clay Neutral plane (a) (b) Figure Negative skin friction
30 61 Chapter 11: Pile Foundations In some cases, the downward drag force may be excessive and cause foundation failure. This section outlines two tentative methods for the calculation of negative skin friction. Clay Fill over Granular Soil (Figure 11.35a) Similar to the b method presented in Section 11.1, the negative (downward) skin stress on the pile is f n 5 Krs o r tan dr (11.11) where Kr 5 earth pressure coefficient 5 K o 5 1 sin fr s o r 5 vertical effective stress at any depth z 5g f rz g f r 5 effective unit weight of fill dr 5 soil pile friction angle < fr Hence, the total downward drag force on a pile is Q n 5 3 H f 0 (pkrg f r tan dr)z dz 5 pkrg frh f tan dr (11.113) where H f 5 height of the fill. If the fill is above the water table, the effective unit weight, g f r, should be replaced by the moist unit weight. Granular Soil Fill over Clay (Figure 11.35b) In this case, the evidence indicates that the negative skin stress on the pile may exist from z 5 0 to z 5 L 1, which is referred to as the neutral depth. (See Vesic, 1977, pp. 5 6.) The neutral depth may be given as (Bowles, 198) L 1 5 (L H f) L 1 B L H f 1 g frh f R g frh f gr gr (11.11) where g f r and gr 5 effective unit weights of the fill and the underlying clay layer, respectively. For end-bearing piles, the neutral depth may be assumed to be located at the pile tip (i.e., L 1 5 L H f ). Once the value of L 1 is determined, the downward drag force is obtained in the following manner: The unit negative skin friction at any depth from z 5 0 to z 5 L 1 is where Kr 5 K o 5 1 sin fr s o r 5g f rh f 1grz dr fr f n 5 Krs o r tan dr (11.115)

In some cases, the piles can be coated with bitumen in the downdrag zone to avoid this problem. A limited number of case studies of negative skin friction is available in the literature. Bjerrum et al. (1969) reported monitoring the downdrag force on a test pile at Sorenga in the harbor of Oslo, Norway (noted as pile G in the original paper). The study of Bjerrum et al. (1969) was also discussed by Wong and Teh (1995) in terms of the pile being driven to bedrock at 0 m. Figure 11.36a shows the soil profile and the pile.

A pile cap is constructed over group piles. The cap can be in contact with the ground, as in most cases (see Figure 11.37a), or well above the ground, as in the case of offshore platforms (see Figure 11.37b). Determining the load-bearing capacity of group piles is extremely complicated and has not yet been fully resolved. When the piles are placed close to each other, a

Ideally, the piles in a group should be spaced so that the load-bearing capacity of the group is not less than the sum of the bearing capacity of the individual piles. In practice, the minimum centerto-center pile spacing, d, is.5d and, in ordinary situations, is actually about 3 to 3.5D.
35 11.0 Group Efficiency 619 The efficiency of the load-bearing capacity of a group pile may be defined as h5 Q g(u) S Q u (11.117) where h5group efficiency Q g(u) 5 ultimate load-bearing capacity of the group pile Q u 5 ultimate load-bearing capacity of each pile without the group effect Many structural engineers use a simplified analysis to obtain the group efficiency for friction piles, particularly in sand. This type of analysis can be explained with the aid of Figure 11.37a. Depending on their spacing within the group, the piles may act in one of two ways: (1) as a block, with dimensions L g 3 B g 3 L, or () as individual piles. If the piles act as a block, the frictional capacity is f av p g L < Q g(u). [Note: p g 5 perimeter of the cross section of block 5 (n 1 1 n )d 1 D, and f av 5 average unit frictional resistance.] Similarly, for each pile acting individually, Q u < plf av. (Note: p 5 perimeter of the cross section of each pile.) Thus, h 5 Q g(u) 5 f av3(n 1 1 n )d 1 DL S Q u n 1 n plf av 5 (n 1 1 n )d 1 D pn 1 n (11.118) Hence, Q g(u) 5 B (n 1 1 n )d 1 D RS Q pn 1 n u (11.119) From Eq. (11.119), if the center-to-center spacing d is large enough, h.1. In that case, the piles will behave as individual piles. Thus, in practice, if h,1, then and if h$1, then Q g(u) 5hS Q u Q g(u) 5S Q u There are several other equations like Eq. (11.119) for calculating the group efficiency of friction piles. Some of these are given in Table It is important, however, to recognize that relationships such as Eq. (11.119) are simplistic and should not be used. In fact, in a group pile, the magnitude of f av depends on the location of the pile in the group (ex., Figure 11.38).

It can be seen that, for loose and medium sands, the magnitude of the group efficiency can be larger than unity. This is due primarily to the densification of sand surrounding the pile Ultimate Capacity of Group Piles in Saturated Clay Figure 11.0 shows a group pile in saturated clay.

Elastic Settlement of Group Piles In general, the settlement of a group pile under a similar working load per pile increases with the width of the group (B g ) and the center-to-center spacing of the piles (d). Several investigations relating to the settlement of group piles have been reported in the literature, with widely varying results. The simplest relation for the settlement of group piles was given by Vesic (1969), namely, s g(e) 5 É B g D s e (11.1) where s g(e) 5 elastic settlement of group piles B g 5 width of group pile section D 5 width or diameter of each pile in the group s e 5 elastic settlement of each pile at comparable working load (see Section 11.15) For group piles in sand and gravel, for elastic settlement, Meyerhof (1976) suggested the empirical relation s g(e) (mm) q"B gi N 60 (11.13)

(Note that, in Eq. (11.16), all quantities are expressed in consistent units.) Example Consider a 3 3 group of prestressed concrete piles, each 1 m long, in a sand layer. The details of each pile and the sand are similar to that described in Example The working load for the pile group is 60 kn (3 3 3 Q all where Q all 5 50 kn as in Example 11.10), and d>d 5 3.

42 66 Chapter 11: Pile Foundations 11.3 Consolidation Settlement of Group Piles The consolidation settlement of a group pile in clay can be estimated by using the :1 stress distribution method. The calculation involves the following steps (see Figure 11.3): Step 1. Let the depth of embedment of the piles be L. The group is subjected to a total load of Q g. If the pile cap is below the original ground surface, Q g equals the total load of the superstructure on the piles, minus the effective weight of soil above the group piles removed by excavation. Step. Assume that the load Q g is transmitted to the soil beginning at a depth of L>3 from the top of the pile, as shown in the figure. The load Q g spreads out along two vertical to one horizontal line from this depth. Lines aar and bbr are the two :1 lines. Step 3. Calculate the increase in effective stress caused at the middle of each soil layer by the load Q g. The formula is Dsr i 5 Q g (B g 1 z i )(L g 1 z i ) (11.17) B g L g Q g Groundwater table L a b 3 L Clay layer 1 Clay layer L 1 z V:1H Clay layer 3 V:1H L a Clay layer Rock b L 3 Figure 11.3 Consolidation settlement of group piles

Note, however, that there will be no increase in stress in clay layer 1, because it is above the horizontal plane (z 5 0) from which the stress distribution to the soil starts. Calculate the consolidation settlement of each layer caused by the increased stress. The formula is De (i) Ds c(i) 5 B RH 1 1 e i o(i) (11.18) Step 5. where Ds c(i) 5 consolidation settlement of layer i De (i) 5 change of void ratio caused by the increase in stress in layer i e o(i) 5 initial void ratio of layer i (before construction) H i 5 thickness of layer i (Note: In Figure 11.3, for layer, H i 5 L 1 ; for layer 3, H i 5 L ; and for layer, H i 5 L 3.) Relationships involving De (i) are given in Chapter 1. The total consolidation settlement of the group piles is then Ds c(g) 5SDs c(i) (11.19) Note that the consolidation settlement of piles may be initiated by fills placed nearby, adjacent floor loads, or the lowering of water tables. Example 11.0 A group pile in clay is shown in Figure 11.. Determine the consolidation settlement of the piles. All clays are normally consolidated.
