Title: BACK ANALYSIS OF TEST PILES DRIVEN INTO ESTUARINE SANDS. PROCEEDINGS OF THE ELEVENTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SOIL MECHANICS AND FOUNDATION ENGINEERING, SAN FRANCISCO, 12-16 AUGUST 1985
Abstract: Precast concrete piles were driven at Richards Bay, to support a large bridge. The piles were driven through surface clays to found in a medium dense and dense estuarine sand. Back analysis of preliminary pile tests showed that both static and dynamic computer models gave good indications of production pile behaviour. The availability of this information during construction proved invaluable for controlling installation of production piles. For the covering abstract of the conference see IRRD 287689. (Author/TRRL)
