53 Conclusions Preliminary resistance factors (φ) for Louisiana soil were evaluated for different driven pile design methods Statistical analyses comparing the predicted and measured pile resistances were conducted to evaluate the performance of the different pile design methods. LRFD in deep foundation can improve its reliability due to more balanced design. More statistical data is needed for more rational resistance factor. 53
54 Issues Load sharing and overall redundancy Reduced φ to reflect increased β Site variability Based on the filed and laboratory testing Resistance factor and number of static load test needed Scour 54
