... 110 NCHRP 45-05 Interview Notes – Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Page 2 of 3 Key question was development of the plug – if the plug is being relied upon to either achieve penetration into the chert or to achieve the nominal pile resistance, how could the certainty of the plug developing and its locaon be determined? o Wanted to keep the pile open to get it down relavely easily, but needed it to plug to get the pile to drive the minimum distance into the chert required for fixity.

... 111 NCHRP 45-05 Interview Notes – Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Page 3 of 3 radiation damping allows CAPWAP to be­er model the signals recorded by the dynamic pile testing equipment. o The pile resistances calculated with CAPWAP using the radiation damping model also generally produced higher end bearing resistance values than the CAPWAP models without the radiation damping.

... 113 NCHRP 45-05 Interview Notes – Louisiana Department of Transportaon and Development Page 2 of 2 Driving Aides Evaluated on a case by case basis Je ng is somemes allowed, usually no more than through the scour zone where no side resistance is counted on for design. Lessons Learned Comfortable with spun cast concrete piles, paying aention to details such as reinforcement at the top (for driving stresses)

... 115 NCHRP 45-05 Interview Notes – Minnesota Department of Transportation Page 2 of 2 Dynamic and Load Testing Wakota Bridge provides a good case history of early use and testing of LDOEPs by MnDOT. Main issue is demonstrating required resistance via dynamic testing methods.

From page 116...
... 117 NCHRP 45-05 Interview Notes – New York State DOT Page 2 of 3 Piles tend to be over driven (driven to higher resistance than necessary if setup in clay was beƒer defined) in order to meet the schedule.

... 118 NCHRP 45-05 Interview Notes – New York State DOT Page 3 of 3 compressive stresses in the piles during driving is also a major part of dynamic testing of these piles. Pre-Jeng o On Long Island, pre-je ing is typically used.
