Driven piles are pre-manufactured fortifications used to ensure the strength of a structure''s base that can be used in different types of foundations. This 3-hour interactive online course is the fourth course in a series on pile design, covering static analysis of single driven piles. This course reviews bearing capacity analysis of single piles in cohesionless soils, in cohesive soils, in layered soils and on rock. Analysis of uplift capacity and lateral capacity is also reviewed.

To successfully complete this course, it is necessary to have an understanding of the materials covered in earlier courses on driven piles, including Driven Piles - Subsurface Exploration and Testing, and Driven Piles - Introduction to Static Analysis. This course is based on guidance provided by the Federal Highway Administration.

Course Objectives

Upon completion of the course, you will understand:

Explain the bearing capacity of piles in cohesionless soils, including use of the Meyerhof and Nordlund Methods
Relate bearing capacity of piles in cohesive soils, including use of the Tomlinson and Effective Stress Methods
State impacts of layered soils on bearing capacity of piles
Predict bearing capacity of piles on rock
Compare bearing capacity methods based on CPT Data, including the Nottingham and Schmertmann Method and the LPC Method
Summarized the basics of uplift capacity of driven piles
Identify the basics of lateral capacity of single driven piles

This course is part of a series of courses on Driven Piles including:

Introduction to Static Analysis Method (1 hour)
Pile Type and Selection (2 hours)
Static Analysis, Pile Groups (3 hours)
Static Analysis, Single Piles (3 hours)
Subsurface Exploration and Testing (2 hours)

There will be a multiple choice quiz at the end of the session to gauge your understanding of the material.
