OSTI ID:413515
The applicability of the Ras Tanajib pile capacity method to piles driven to penetrations greater than 30 m in the very dense sands of the Safaniya Field of the Arabian Gulf is investigated. Comparisons of observed and predicted blow counts, and measured and computed soil resistances to driving are presented. Blow counts are predicted using procedures recommended by Stevens, Wiltsie, and Turton (1982). The measured soil resistance to driving is the Case-Goble bearing capacity computed using a damping coefficient of 0.20. The computed soil resistance to driving is the lower and upper bound values computed for a plugged pile. CAPWAP analyses are performed at final penetration to confirm pile capacities computed using the Ras Tanajib method.
