Field tests on 22 steel pipe piles either embedded or bearing in sands are reviewed to determine depth and displacement dependent design parameters. These parameters are used to forecast the behavior of 9 additional piles. A procedure to predict ultimate and allowable loads and corresponding displacements is presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
