(Internal) Analysis of Extended Pile Load-Test Database

Current methods used to estimate pile capacity for design are not very accurate, frequently resulting in unneccessarily conservative designs. This project will result in recommendations for improved pile capacity methods. It will also provide the means to evaluate proposed load and resistance factor design (LRFD) resistance factors.
