CORRECTION OF HILEY'S EQUATION AND ITS APPLICABILITY BASE ON DYNAIC LOADING TESTS AT MIZUSHIMA PORT

Abstract

 Coefficients to correct Hiley's equation were calculated based on the results of dynamic loading tests of piles at the road bridge construction site in Mizushima port. The result shows that the coefficient decided through the bridge had large variability. Therefore, it was concluded that the safety margin should be considered during the calculation of the coefficient. On the other hand, if the coefficient was calculated for each pier, then the variability was small enough for the construction management.
