Abstract:

This report presents comprehensive design examples for driven pile foundations on highway structures. The worked LRFD design examples address strength, service and extreme limit state considerations for a two span bridge structure in highly variable subsurface conditions. Pile foundation design examples in cohesionless, cohesive, and layered soil profiles are presented as well as pile design on hard rock. The worked examples follow the step by step design and construction process outlined in Chapter 2 of FHWA-NHI-16-009.
