Evaluation of Static and Dynamic Methods for Determining the Bearing Capacity of the Driven Pipe Piles
Abstract: Different static and dynamic methods exist for determining the pile bearing capacity and the precision of the results of each method depends on the condition of the soil and type of pile as well as accessibility to necessary information. In this study bearing capacity of driven pipe piles in cohesion soil and the driving progress in a practical project are evaluated. For this purpose, the information of 208 driven piles in four A, B, C, and D regions in total areas of 1500 m2 was used. Using this information, dynamic relations of pile-bearing capacity in fine-grained soil were compared with the result of the static relations. This study has shown that ENR dynamic relations, modified ENR, and newly modified ENR have a good correlation with static methods.
