Residual Stresses in Piles and the Wave Equation

by Jean-Louis Briaud, Texas A&M Univ, Civil, Engineering Dep, College Station, TX, USA,

Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Analysis and Design of Pile Foundations

Abstract:

A data base of 18 vertical load tests on driven piles in sand is presented. On average the residual point load was 56% of the measured point load and the residual friction load 19% of the measured friction load. The residual friction loads are compared with those predicted by wave equation analysis.
