Funded Activity Summary
Influence of Spatial Variability on the Design and Performance of Pile Foundations. Currently, no model is available that incorporates the spatial variability of soil properties into the design and analysis of pile foundations. Furthermore, only basic rules-of-thumb are available to assist in determining the scope of appropriate site investigations for piles, and limited data are available for the LRFD of piles. The new and unique finite element model, site investigation guidelines and load resistance factors will reduce the over-design and uncertainty associated with pile design, which will lead to more reliable pile foundations and reduced construction cost overruns and delays. Conservatively, it is estimated that this research will result in savings in excess of $10 million per year, in Australia alone.Funded Activity Details
