Abstract
A procedure for predicting the bearing capacity of an axially loaded pile is presented herein. Field data consisting of measured dynamic forces and static loads are correlated with predicted results obtained from wave equation analyses. The field data are obtained from five full-scale instrumented pile tests in clay and sand. Soil quake values and soil damping values are determined for both clay and sand. Application of wave equation analysis for predicting bearing capacity and driving stresses is discussed. Conclusions and recommendations are presented to summarize the state-of-the-art.
