63 Foundation Load Test Project 4 Driven Piles Drilled Shaft

64 Load Test Purpose To gather design data for foundations Allows for refined foundation designs Helps designer quantify lateral capacity Gives information/data to set shaft length Helps contractor prepare bid with less contingencies Reduces cost risk, thus reducing project costs Helps prove proposed foundations can be efficiently constructed in river utilizing project specifications Reduces cost risk to project The load test information from the 1990s will be available

65 Driven Pile Load Test Site B Drive two 42 in. pipe piles Drive two 24 in. pipe piles 115 ft. long ± 15 ft. Vertical load test all four piles Horizontal load test on two piles 24 in. closed end pipe pile 42 in. open ended pipe pile
