Early driveabiliry predictions noted that the sheets would require impact driving to these depths after practical refusal to vibratory driving. In order to minimise project costs and meet time schedules, dynamic load testing of the sheet piles during impact driving was undertaken by Pile Test ...
A design set-up profile was used to develop depth-variable driving criteria for both 500- and 600-kip (2,224- and 2,669-kN) allowable load piles. Test program results permitted more-accurate reduced capacities to be assigned to damaged piles, and to piles which experienced practical refusa...
