Abstract This manual is intended to serve a dual purpose, first as a participant's manual for the FHWA’s National Highway Institute courses on driven pile foundations and secondly as FHWA’s primary reference of recommended practice for driven pile foundations. The Design and Construction of Driven Pile Foundations manual is directed to geotechnical, structural, and Construction engineers involved in the design and construction of pile supported structures. The manual is intended to serve as a practical reference on driven pile foundations. Volume | of the manual addresses design aspects including subsurface exploration, laboratory testing, static analyses, as well as specification and foundation report preparation. Volume Il covers construction aspects including dynamic formulas, wave equation analyses, dynamic testing, static load testing, Statnamic testing, the Osterberg cell, as well as pile driving equipment, pile accessories, and pile installation inspection, Step by step procedures, workshop problems and solutions are provided to demonstrate use of the manual material. 17.

During the past three decades this industry has experienced several major improvements including newer and more accurate methods of predicting capacities, highly specialized and sophisticated equipment for pile driving, and improved methods of construction control. In order to take advantage of these new developments, the FHWA developed a manual in connection with Demonstration Project No. 66, Design and Construction of Driven Pile Foundations. The primary purpose of the Manual was to support educational programs conducted by FHWA for transportation agencies. These programs consisted of (ja workshop for geotechnical, structural, and construction engineers, and (2) field demonstrations of static and dynamic load testing equipment. Technical assistance on Construction projects in areas covered by this Demonstration Project was provided to transportation agencies on request, A second purpose of equal importance was to serve as the FHWA's standard reference for highway projects involving driven pile foundations. The original Manual was written by Suneel N. Vanikar with review and comment from Messrs. Ronald Chassie, Jerty DiMaggio, and Richard Cheney After a decade of use it was necessary that the Manual be updated and modified to include new developments that had taken place in the intervening years and to take advantage of the experience gained in using the Manual in the many workshops that were presented by Demonstration Project 66. The new version of the Manual was prepared by Goble Rausche Likins and Associates, Inc. under contract with the FHWA. The Manual is presented in two volumes. Volume | addresses design aspects and Volume I! presents topics related to driven pile installation, Monitoring, and inspection. The new Manual is intended to serve a dual purpose. First, as a workshop participant's manual for the FHWA's National Highway Institute Courses on Driven Pile Foundations, Similar to the earlier demonstration manual, this document is also intended to serve as FHWA's primary reference of recommended practice for driven pile foundations.Upon completion of NHI Course 13221, participants will be able to: . Describe methods of pile foundation design. n Discuss driven pile construction materials and installation equipment. 2 Describe the timing and scope of the involvement of foundation specialists as a Project evolves from concept through completion > Perform a foundation economic analysis and determine the need for a driven pile foundation. ga Recognize the pile type selection process and the advantages and disadvantages of common driven pile types. 2 . Compute single and group capacities of driven piles to resist compression, tension and lateral loads. ~ Identify when and how dynamic formulas, wave equation analyses, dynamic pile testing and static load testing should be used on a project. @ Discuss the components of structural foundation reports and controlling issues of specifications and contracting documents as related to a successful construction project. © Describe the concept and project influence of driveability, pile refusal, minimum and estimated pile toe elevations, soil setup and relaxation. Upon completion of NHI Course 13222, participants will be able to: 1. Describe methods of driven pile construction monitoring and inspection practices and procedures 2. Discuss pertinent driven pile specification and contract document issues. vi
