Determining the Effect of Stage Testing on the Dimensionless Pile Side Shear Setup Factor

P. J. Bullock / J. H. Schmertmann

The research work investigates the change in pile side shear capacity with time. Many piles exhibit a capacity increase termed 'setup' or 'freeze'. Although casually observed by many engineers and contractors, research documentation of setup is limited and design methods do not routinely include it. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) research investigated setup and determined the 'Setup Factor A.' for five piles in Florida soils. However, this research was performed by testing the same piles repeatedly, a commonly accepted test method referred to as 'staged' testing.
