    • Comparison of five different methods for determining pile bearing capacities 

      Jaromin, David; Hendrix, Joshua; Long, James H. (Wisconsin Highway Research Program, 2009-02)
      The purpose of this study is to assess the accuracy and precision with which five methods can predict axial pile capacity. The methods are the Engineering News formula currently used by Wisconsin Department of Transportation ...
    • Estimating soil/pile set-up 

      Wagner, Alan; Edil, Tuncer; Komurka, Van (Wisconsin Highway Research Program, 2003-09)
      Abstract Soil/pile set-up is time-dependent increase in pile capacity, and can contribute significantly to long-term pile capacity. If it were possible to incorporate the effects of set-up during design, it may be possible ...
    • Investigation of standard penetration torque testing (SPT-T) to predict pile performance 

      Komurka, Van; Wagner, Alan; Winter, Charles J. (Wisconsin Highway Research Program, 2005-09)
      Soil/pile set-up is a time-dependant increase in pile capacity. Incorporation of soil/pile set-up in pile design often has considerable economic benefits, resulting from reduction in pile section, length, and/or size of ...
    • Rapid bridge construction technology, precast elements for substructures 

      Okumus, Pinar; Oliva, Michael; Unlu, Demirhan (Wisconsin Highway Research Program, 2011-06)
      The goal of this research was to propose an alternate system of precast bridge substructures which can substitute for conventional cast in place systems in Wisconsin to achieve accelerated construction. Three types of ...
