    capacities.

    profiles
    Capacities calculated using Nq and
    (using lower bound friction angle)
    NOT LRFD empirical method (based
    on uncorrected N)
    Pile toe founded in very dense sand
    (N160>50) but Service loads mainly
    carried in friction

    Pile Testing

    Pile Load Test Method


    O-Cell test on 1.5m diameter piles
    Cell is located 1m above toe to
    measure end bearing resistance and
    friction above toe
    Shaft stresses measured with strain
    gauges to show distribution of friction
    (no need for two-level O-Cell)
    Plot graphs:
    Frictional resistance against
    Displacement
    End bearing resistance against
    Displacement
    Calculate Total resistance against
    g
    Displacement and check (See Table
    opposite for Pier 3)
    Results from Pier 3 confirm that
    Service Loads carried by shaft friction
    alone with 3mm settlement!
