EVENTS AND WEBINARS
PDCA Webinar Education Series
April 2021
April 6, 2021: Components of Cost-
Effective Driven-Pile Design
& Installation
Van Komurka, P.E., D.GE, Senior
Engineer, GRL Engineers, Inc.
This webinar will identify the major cost
components of driven pile foundation
systems and how to optimize them.
Straightforward tools will be presented
with which to evaluate, compare and
implement viable cost-effective options
for the design, installation and testing of
driven piles. Quantitative examples will
be provided illustrating the application
and benefits of webinar content with
respect to cost, schedule and risk.

June 1, 2021: Optimizing the Design
of Driven Pile Foundations with
Instrumented Static Load Tests
Peter Narsavage, P.E., Senior
Geotechnical Engineer, E.L. Robinson
Engineering
Two large bridges over the Great Miami
River in Dayton, Ohio, were recently
constructed. The foundations for these
bridges consist of driven piles, and the
foundation design was optimized for the
least cost given the constraints of the site
conditions and pile drivability. Over 40
different possible combinations of pile
diameter, pile wall thickness, pile capacity
and pile hammer were considered during
design, including open ended piles. Cost
factors included material costs for steel
and concrete including length surcharges
over 50 feet, crew and equipment time
and costs to unload and drive the piles,
and time and material costs for splices.
Foundation costs were compared on
cost/ton basis. The selected pile design
was a 16-inch pipe pile with a nominal resistance
of 600 kips, which exceeded the
state DOT's standard maximum nominal
resistance of 450 kips for this size pile.
During construction, two instrumented
static load tests and many dynamic load
tests (PDA with CAPWAP) were performed
to evaluate the selected foundation
design and the results used to further
refine the foundation design.
The objective of the webinar:
• Efficient pile design must consider
the pile properties, the soil properties
and the pile driving equipment
• Foundation systems should be
compared based on cost per
capacity ($/ton)
• The results from instrumented static
load tests can be used to optimize
a pile foundation design
