Complexity of Capacity Estimation of Driven Piles in Weathered Coral Limestone
The deep foundations for the pier facility of the Itabo Power Expansion Project consists of driven open-ended, 610-mm and 914-mm diameter, steel pipe piles. The geotechnical investigation indicated a highly variable soil stratigraphy within the site due to the presence of weathered coral limestone. Some of the piles were not able to be driven into the anticipated depth and were considered as questionable piles. An evaluation of the loading capacities of the as-driven piles on an individual pile basis was required for remediation. This paper presents the geotechnical information and the methods of pile capacity evaluation.
