The recently released Geotechnical Engineering Circular No. 12 - Design and Construction of Driven Pile Foundations is the US Federal Highway Administration 's (FHWA) primary guidance and reference document on driven pile foundations. GEC 12 updates and replaces the previous Design and Construction of Driven Pile Foundations documents published in 2006. It reflects changes in the practice of designing , constructing and inspecting driven pile foundations that occurred in the industry in the past 10 years. Most notably, the Circular incorporates Load and Resistance Factor Design methods , following current American Association of State and Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) specifications. GRL is proud to have been the editor and main contributor, under the leadership of its President Patrick Hannigan, P.E., its founders Frank Rausche, PhD, P.E. and Garland Likins, P.E., and its engineers Brent Robinson, P.E., and Matthew Becker to this effort. The work was done for Ryan R. Berg & Associates , Inc. and in cooperation with the FHWA Technical Working Group composed of Naser Abu-Hejleh , PhD, P.E., Scott Anderson , PhD, P.E., and Silas Nichols, P.E.
The two volume manual covers analysis , design , and construction of driven pile foundations for highway structures. A third volume provides a complete example. All volumes can be downloaded from the link provided on the home page of www.GRLengineers.com.
