The objective of the proposed project is to study the strength and bearing capacity of helical piles as well as piling driven with vibratory equipment. This project would develop design guidance, construction methods, acceptance criteria, and include development of training on design and construction using these alternative pile systems for local roads.
The Research Plan includes the following:
Task 1. Literature review on alternative pilings and pile driving systems;
Task 2. Conduct a survey of state departments of transportation (DOTs) and private industry;
Task 3. Assessment of the identified alternatives; and
Task 4. Final Report. |
