High Capacity Piles in Very Dense Sands
The results of many years of accumulated experience with deep foundations in the San Francisco Bay Area have led to gradual but significant improvements in our understanding of the behavior and key aspects of the deign and installation of pile foundations. The increased confidence from past experience has resulted in a recent trend for higher design capacities that allow more economical designs and shorter construction schedules. The paper describes several case histories that illustrate the design and construction opportunities and challenges with high capacity piles. The case histories include: (1) 356 mm and 406 mm square prestressed concrete piles driven into very dense sands at two sites; (2) Tubex piles, a special adaptation of pipe piles; and (3) composite piles consisting of soil-cement columns with steel H-pile inserts.
