Developing Production Pile Driving Criteria from Test Pile Data
PREFACE
This report provides information on the current practices used by state transportation agencies
to develop pile driving criteria, with special attention paid to the use of test pile data in
the process. The information collected shows high variability in the level and sophistication
of the practices being used. A significant component of the variation in pile driving criteria
may be related to the pace of implementation of new approaches for pile testing and differences
between agencies in training, experience, and acceptance of new technologies.
Information was gathered through a literature review, a survey of all state transportation
agencies, and selected interviews.
