The four tripod-type structures are designed, respectively, for the water depths (MLW) of 81 feet (one structure), 93 feet (one structure) and 105 feet (one structure), 93 feet (one structure) and 105 feet (two structures). The structures are to be anchored to the sea bed by driving 42-in diameter piling through each leg of the templets and penetrating approximately 250 feet into the subsea soils. Vulcan 560 hammer or equivalent will be employed to drive the piling into the desired penetration. The method employed to perform the computation of pipe pile capacity curves, as presented in Section 2, is empirical in nature. McClelland soil report (Volume No. 1, Foundation Investigation, Report to Cubic Corporation) serves as the basis of engineering data to develop the capacity curves for each boring site. Stress-wave equation analysis is used in Section 3 to produced pile driving resistance curves. It should be noted that these curves provide only a possible range of pile drivability for the engineer to have a better judgment in the design of piling foundations and in no way assume attainment of the desired penetration.
