Axial load behaviour of a driven cast in situ pile in sand
Flynn, Kevin N.; McCabe, Bryan A.; Egan, Derek (GeoEngineer, 2013)[No abstract available] -
Discussion of “Statistics of model factors in reliability-based design of axially loaded driven piles in sand”
Flynn, Kevin N.; McCabe, Bryan A. (NRC Research Press, 2018-11-22)[No abstract available] -
Driven cast-in-situ pile capacity: insights from dynamic and static load testing
Flynn, Kevin N.; McCabe, Bryan A. (Canadian Science Publishing, 2021-02-11)Driven cast-in-situ (DCIS) piles are classified as large displacement piles. However, the use of an oversized driving shoe introduces additional complexities influencing shaft resistance mobilisation, over and above those ... -
Driven cast-in-situ piles in granular soil: applicability of CPT methods for pile capacity
Flynn, Kevin N.; McCabe, Bryan A.; Egan, D. (CBT'14, 2014)Most CPT-based design methods for driven piles are heavily influenced by research on preformed driven piles. In this paper, a critical review is made of the ability of these methods to predict the total capacity of driven ... -
Energy transfer ratio for hydraulic pile driving hammers
Flynn, Kevin N.; McCabe, Bryan A. (NUI Galway, 2016-08-29)The ability of hydraulic pile driving hammers to overcome energy losses during freefall enables a greater proportion of the impact energy to be transferred to the pile in comparison to diesel hammers. This percentage, ... -
Instrumented concrete pile tests – part 1: a review of instrumentation and procedures
Flynn, Kevin N.; McCabe, Bryan A. (ICE Publishing, 2021-11-03)Preliminary pile tests are becoming increasingly routine in piling projects, some of which are instrumented to help optimise working pile design. However, the execution of a successful test on an instrumented concrete ... -
Instrumented concrete pile tests – part 2: strain interpretation
Flynn, Kevin N.; McCabe, Bryan A. (ICE Publishing, 2021-11-03)The incorporation of strain gauges (traditionally electrical resistance and vibrating wire gauges but increasingly fibre optic sensors) within concrete piles enables an enhanced understanding of the shear stress distribution ... -
Shaft resistance of driven cast-in-situ piles in sand
Flynn, Kevin N.; McCabe, Bryan A. (NRC Research Press, 2015-06-25)Driven cast-in-situ (DCIS) piles are classified as a large displacement pile, despite sharing certain aspects of their construction with replacement pile types. However, there are relatively few case histories of load tests ...
