Driven piles of 14-in. O.D. with 0.188-in. wall thickness and 59-ft penetration were designed at the site for a new generator. The subsoil was mainly formed with soft layers of clay with shear strength in the order of 3.13 psi. Axial tests were performed under guidelines, instrumentation and measurements from LCR&A. Maximum compressive loads were maintained for a period of two weeks to check the soil response under continuous loading. Lateral loads were not considerable and the test piles measured movements in the order of 1.1 in. under the maximum load of 13,000 lbs. An initial report containing construction guidelines for the reaction frame and instrumentation requirements was presented by LCR&A. The final report contained graphics of reduced measurements and the table of measured data.
