Abstract:
The Helical Piles and Tiebacks Committee was awarded a Technical Project Fund for 2025. This project includes dynamic load testing helical piles on different sites and soil conditions and compare them to static load tests on the same sites. We have matched the test pile size, type, helix configurations, depths, and proximity in the comparison between the two testing methods to obtain the data we will present. By proving a correlation between these two testing methods, the helical pile industry can gain further quality assurance while also increasing the testing efficiency with a widely recognized testing procedure.Â
