Pile Capacity Prediction in Glacial Soils Using Piezocone
Glacial soil deposits usually contain inter-bedded layers of fine and coarse grained materials. Pile capacity prediction in glacial soil is difficult because a clear boundary between fine and coarse grained soils can not be established easily. Unfortunately, the conventional pile capacity prediction methods require classification of soil as either cohesionless or cohesive. The piezocone (CPTU) can provide a continuous soil profile and a better "picture" of soil stratigraphy. But the limitation of piezocone based pile capacity predictions is that reliable soil sampling and/or soil classification is needed since the pile capacity estimate can vary widely depending on the soil type. Therefore, design pile capacity is less reliable when soil sampling is not possible. The paper discusses the authors' approach for pile capacity prediction in a glacial soil profile where soil sampling was not possible.
