This research focuses on the most commonly used steel H-pile foundation. The research scope is to (1) characterize soil-pile responses under pile driving impact loads, and (2) understand how the generated information could be used to improve design and construction control of piles subjected to vertical loads in accordance with LRFD. It has been understood that efficiency of the pile foundation can be elevated, if the increase in pile resistance as a function of time (i.e., pile setup) can be quantified and incorporated into the LRFD. Because the current pile foundation practice involves different methods in designing...
