40 tons on wood pile? Chicago engineers say 'yes'
Tests were conducted to determine safe working loads and ultimate load-carrying capacities of treated wood piles in Chicago vicinity; 12 in. butt diam oak, southern pine, and Douglas fir piles, Class A and B, were tested; test loads were applied by hydraulic jacks against anchored wide flange beam; piles withstood failure loads from 122 ton to 235 ton; in Chicago soil, required penetration per blow is reached in very tough and hard blue clays or dense silt.
