Foundation Reuse: Length, Condition, and Capacity of Existing Driven Piles
The Missouri Department of Transportation has released a report that evaluates various methods for predicting the installed length, assessing the condition, and predicting the load capacity of existing bridge foundations. Reusing existing foundations for the replacement bridge is an appealing approach, since this can reduce construction costs and shorten project schedules. However, there are engineering challenges to foundation reuse, which this report seeks to address.
