Pile foundation for Oakland Coliseum

Hallenbeck, Jr., J.J. / Johnston, R.E.

Extensive load tests and studies of pile-driving records show that pile-hammer blow counts for different types of piles driven into some soil are not dependably related to relative capacities of driven piles; blow counts should be used only if they have been correlated to soil conditions by tests; for Oakland, Calif, Coliseum Complex it was determined that Raymond step-taper piles could be assigned design values of 80 tons; creosoted wood piles, used for lighter loads, may carry 40 tons; minimum penetration into proven supporting soils, then specified minimum blow count with specified hammer, can be used to control pile lengths within predetermined limits.
