Engineers and contractors have been designing and installing pile foundations for many
years. During the past three decaoes this industry has expenenced several najor
improvements including newer and more accurate methads of predicting capacities,
highly specialized and sophisticated equipment tor pile diving, and improved rnathods
of canstruchion fontrol,
In order to take advantage of these new déveigpments, the FHWA developed # manuat
in cannection with Demonstration Project No. 66, Design and Construction of Driven File
Foundations. The primary purpase of the Manual was to support educaticnal programs
conducted by FHWA for transportation agencies. These programs cansisted ot (1) 4
workshop for geotechnical, shuctural, and consiruction engineers. and (2) field
demonstrations of static and dynamis load vesting equipment Technical assistanre on
Construction projects in areas covered by thie Demonstration Projact was proviced to
transportation agencies on request. A sécond purpose of equal importance was to
serve as the FHWA's standard relerence for highway projects iavoling driven pile
foundations.
The original Manual was vritten by Suneal N. Vanikar with review and comment trem
Messrs Ronald Chassie, Jerry DiMaggio, ard Richatd Cheney
Alter a decade of yse it was necessary that the Manual be updated and modilied te
include new developments that had] taken glace in the intervening years and to lake
advantage af the expenence gained in using she Manual in the many workshops that
were presented by Demonstration Project 66. The néw version of the Manual was
prepared by Goble Rausche Likirs and Associates, Ine. under contract with the FHWA.
The Manual is presented in two volumes. Volume | addresses design aspects and
Volume Il presents topics related to driven pile installation, mantoring, and inspection.
Tha new Manual is intended te serve dual purpose. First, as 4 workshop participant's
manual for the FHWA’s National Highway Insttute Courses on Driven Pile Foundations.
Sunilar to the earlier demenstration manual. this document is also intended to Seve as
FHWA 8 primary reference ot recommended practicg for driven pile foundations.Upon completion of NH] Course 13221. participants wall be able to:
1. Describe methods of pile foundation design.
. Discuss driven pile construction materials and installation equipment.
we
Desctiba the timing and scope of the involvement of foundation specialists ag a
Project evolves from cancept through completion.
=
Perfonn a foundation economic arglysis and determine the need for a driven pile
foundation,
w
Recognize the pile type selection process and the advantages and disadvantages of
common driven pria types.
a
Compute single and group capacities of driven pilas lo resist compression, tansion
and lateral loads.
Identity when and how dynamic tornulas, wave equation analyses, dynamic pre
testing and static Igad testing should bé used on a project,
o
Discuss the components of structural foundation reports and controlling issues of
specications and contracting documents a§ relateo tc a successful construction
Project
.
Gescribe the goncept and project influence of driveability, pile retusal, minim and
estimated pile toe elevatipns, soil setup and relexatian.
Upon completion of MHI Courge 13222, participants wil be able to:
1. Describe methods of driven pile construction Manitoring and inspection practices and
procedures
2. Discuss pertinent driven pie specification and contact document issues
viow
Describe wave equation, dynamic tasting and static testing results in terms of their
apphcation and interpretation on contruction projects.
*
Identty the basic components and differences between various pile driving syslems,
associated installation equipment, pile splices and pile toe attachments.
«
Interpret a Set ol divert pile plan detals and specifications.
6 Inspect 4 drive pile project wth knowledge and contidenca.
