Side Friction

The North Carolina Department of Transportation is currently conducting a predesign foundation load test for a new bridge over the Northeast Cape Fear River near Wilmington, North Carolina. The primary purpose of the load test program is to determine whether concrete piles can penetrate a very dense and cemented sand layer and what side friction and tip bearing capacities should be used for the design of the drilled piers. Significant cost savings could be realized if pile foundations instead of drilled piers could support the approach spans of the bridge. For this determination, three concrete piles will be installed 30 m into the ground. Significant cost savings could also be realized by making a more accurate determination of the drilled pier capacities. For this determination, the side friction and tip bearing capacities of the dense Peedee sands and the underlying hard marine clays will be determined with Osterberg cell tests on two 2130-mm-diameter drilled piers. The different subsurface layers (muck, alluvial sands, and Peedee sands) will also be tested laterally with both static and statnamic testing to assist in the foundation design. The load test program incorporates an NCHRP research program on pile groups. The program includes testing a reusable instrumented steel pile group and frame at various sites in various soil conditions around the United States. The load test program results to date, the effect of the results on the foundation design, and the construction, testing, and instrumentation of the drilled piers are described.
