Driven Piles: Static Analysis - Single Piles

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.
