Load Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) for Geotechnical Engineering Features: Design and Construction of Driven Pile Foundations

Load Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) for Geotechnical Engineering Features: Design and Construction of Driven Pile Foundations

Instructor:  Jerry DiMaggio

This webinar concentrates on the design and construction of driven pile foundations.  Driven pile foundations are often a technically sound and cost effective foundation choice where a deep foundation solution is appropriate based on site conditions, applied loads and project schedule and performance requirements.  The LRFD platform offers a rational framework for consideration of driven pile foundation systems.  The webinar will use the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) LRFD Bridge and Structures Specifications as a basis for the technical content.  Applicable articles in Section 10.5 and 10.7 of AASHTO LRFD Specifications will be used as a basis of discussion.  The webinar will include discussion on the choice of driven pile type, definition of appropriate limit states under strength, service and extreme limit state conditions in a rational and sequential approach.  Both structural and geotechnical limit state checks will be examined as well as special design situations, such as scour, time changes to geotechnical resistance and seismic conditions.
