Pier 400 Container Wharf Indicator Pile Driving Program Results, Port of Los Angeles, California
The largest single-user container terminal in North America was recently constructed on Pier 400 at the Port of Los Angeles. The terminal's 2,250-meter-long wharf is supported by about 3,700 610-millimeter (mm) octagonal, precast, prestressed concrete piles. The 35- to 40-meter-long piles were driven through between 3 and 18 meters of rock dike. Sixty-six piles were monitored during indicator pile driving programs. The indicator pile driving programs included: 1) data from two different-size diesel hammers and one hydraulic hammer; 2) comparison of piles driven dry vs. those driven with jetting; and 3) restrike data after several days, several weeks, and several months. The indicator pile program results illustrate: 1) the impacts on capacity and schedule when the piles are jetted; 2) the validity of using short-term restrikes to evaluate the ultimate long-term capacity of the piles; and 3) the potential economic, schedule, and quality-control advantages provided by a hydraulic hammer.
