Development of Project-Specific p-y Curves for Drilled Shaft Retaining Wall Design
This paper presents the development of project-specific p-y curves for the analysis and design of tangent and secant pile walls in the Marquette Interchange Project. The passive soil resistance, characterized by non-linear p-y curves, available to the embedded part of the wall is one of the key elements in the analysis for geotechnical and structural designs of the wall. In this project, p-y curves were developed using pressuremeter tests in various soil types encountered along the wall alignments. Several design categories were developed to group p-y curves with similar soil conditions and lateral resistance. An average p-y curve was developed for each design category using a hyperbolic model. These project-specific p-y curves were calibrated against the measured pile deflection profiles from three lateral pile load tests. A design example is presented to illustrate the design procedure incorporating project-specific p-y curves. This procedure is proven to work satisfactorily in full scale.
