Full-Scale Testing of Piles in Wharf-Foundation-Dike System
The design of wharf systems in areas of high seismicity is quite challenging. The seismic code for the Port of Los Angeles (POLA) specifies the performance for two levels of earthquake intensity, the Operating Level Earthquake (OLE) and the Contingency Level Earthquake (CLE). According to this design procedure, structural behaviors should be controlled well even in large earthquake events, but available information is quite few and additional experiments are required to obtain better understanding. A current testing program underway at University of California, San Diego (UCSD) for POLA is aimed at validating the performance of pile foundations behavior in light of the new code. This paper presents detailed information of the testing plan, such as test piles, test set up plan, instrumentations, and so forth. The test has not been carried out yet (November 1, 2006), but it will be conducted soon and test results will be published.
