| Abstract | Pile foundation practice in Southern Taiwan is reviewed and discussed in relation to the relevant available literature. Two case histories in Southern Taiwan are studied and evaluated through an analysis
of the geotechnical aspects of the driven piles. Detailed investigations
of subsurface conditions are made for the design for the bearing capacities of piles which has been revealed that t he heavy loads can be supported by piles at sand layer. Therefore , to estimate the ultimate static
pile capacity in cohesion less soils is used by Meyerhof Empirical Method,
Japanese Building Standard, Meyerhof Analytical Method, DM-7 Method, and
Norlund Analytical Method . The Hiley formula is used to predict the dynamic pile capacity. Beside, the results of pile load test are interpreted through analysis, comparisons and discussions by various methods.
Usually, pile load test are carried out to serve as a proof test to check
the ultimate pile capacity. Found to be that the Norlund Analytical
Method matched with Vander ' s method can be performed to estimate the
static pile capacity in Southern Taiwan area, the results of Hiley formula
can also be taken as reference to predict pile capacity. Finally, discussions and conclusions are summarized s o that it can serve as a guideline for future geotechnical considerations for installation of piles. |
