Abstract

This paper presents an excellent illustration of the best practice for installation and testing of a long displacement pile in soft clay to minimize installation disturbance. This loading test is also a good case study for the application of the SHANSEP-based approach described by Saye et al. (2013) and corresponding LRFD calibration of the SHANSEP-based approach by Stuedlein et al. (2020).
