CalGEO Emerging Geoprofessionals  Meeting

CalGEO Emerging Geoprofessionals Presents:

A DRIVEN PILE IS A TESTED PILE — NOT SO FAST!

D Michael Holloway, Consulting Engineer

Abstract

 The mantra of the Pile Driving Contractor Association is a common phrase that does hold some level of credibility in the foundations industry. In this presentation we will review what methods are available to make this statement more reasonable, and what limitations must be recognized to apply these methods with the greatest confidence. Selected case history content will illustrate how best to use the tools we have in your foundation engineering practice.
