Title: REPORT ON TEST PILE PROGRAM CONDUCTED BY KANSAS AND MISSOURI STATE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENTS
Accession Number: 00208810
Record Type: Component
Abstract: THIS REPORT PRESENTS THE PRIMARY REASONS FOR DEVELOPMENT OF A TEST PILE PROGRAM CONDUCTED BY THE KANSAS AND MISSOURI STATE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENTS, THE PROCEDURES FOLLOWED, AND THE RESULTS OBTAINED IN THE DRIVING AND LOADING OF TWO GROUPS OF FOUR DIFFERENT TYPES OF PILES. THE U. S. BUREAU OF PUBLIC ROADS AND THE TWO STATES INVOLVED AGREED THAT BECAUSE OF THE MAGNITUDE OF PILE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PROPOSED STRUCTURE, PRELIMINARY STUDIES AND INVESTIGATIONS TO PREDETERMINE COMPARATIVE PILE LENGTHS AND CAPACITIES WOULD BE WORTHWHILE. IT WAS HOPED TO OBTAIN DATA THAT WOULD JUSTIFY THE USE OF DESIGN LOADS FOR PILES IN EXCESS OF THOSE PERMITTED BY THE AASHO SPECIFICATIONS, AND THEREBY REALIZE AN APPRECIABLE ECONOMIC SAVING IN CONSTRUCTION COSTS. /AUTHOR/
