Motivation for the Pile Setup Research

  • Pile driving setup is observed in ODOT projects
  • Setup is rarely considered in ODOT’s current driven friction

pile design procedures, as it is not easily:

− Predicted, or − Quantified

  • Substantial driving losses encountered during construction
  • ften result in:

− Pile driving to halt for a while to determine if setup occurs, − Construction delays, and/or − Unforeseen costs if additional length of pile is driven.

Goals and Objectives

  • Collect data from previous projects where pile setup was
  • bserved and restrike data available
  • Collect pile load test data on active projects in construction
  • Conduct analysis to investigate the pile setup mechanisms
  • Correlate pile setup behavior to the properties of soils in Ohio
  • Formulate pile setup predictions for different geologic

conditions and/or geographical locations across Ohio

Collecting Data from Previous Projects

  • Data Sources: ODOT, GRL Engineers, CTL Engineering, and

G2 Consulting Group

  • At the end of data collection: 91 projects / 245 piles

Pile Types

  • Pile types in the database:

− Cast-in-place pipe pile (CIPP) − Cast-in-place pipe open-ended pipe pile (CIPP-O) − H pile (H)

  • Other types in the literature:

− Concrete, timber, and composite

Existing Empirical Model (Skov & Denver, 1988)

  • Setup Ratio, R
  • Setup Factor, A

= 0.2 for sandy soils = 0.6 for clayey soils

  • Reference Time, t0

= 0.5 for sandy soils = 1.0 for clayey soils

Next Phase: Field Tests and New Data Collection

  • Projects with static load test and multiple restrikes
  • Projects completed:

− CUY-21 − CUY-480

  • Ongoing projects as part of this research study:

− LUC-75 − HAM-75 − SUM-76

What is Next?

  • Cluster analysis, based on:

− Pile properties − Soil properties − Geographic location

  • Field tests and new data collection
  • Combine the data from previous and new projects
