报告摘要
This presentation outlines the development of a new 'Unified' CPT-based method for estimating the axial capacity of driven piles in clay. The new method was calibrated with the Unified database of pile load tests developed as part of a joint industry project (JIP) under the management of the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI).
First, a rational basis for the CPT-based formulation is described, using trends from instrumented pile tests; the description facilitates an understanding of the approach and illustrates its empirical nature and limitations. The unified database was used to calibrate the formulation and it led to good predictions for an independent database of pile load tests and for measured distributions of shaft friction. Reliability analyses show that the calculated annual failure probability for a pile designed using the new Unified CPT-based method is comparable to that calculated with the API-method.
