Abstract

This paper presents results of a study conducted during the Seismic Risk Evaluation Phase of the Port of Oakland's Wharf and Embankment Strengthening Program (WESP). It estimates the response of existing piles with missing pile‐driving records, to lateral load. The Pile Integrity Test (PIT) was used to determine pile tip elevations at the relevant berths, and a parametric study was conducted to determine sensitivity of the soil/pile/structure system's performance to variations in pile length, soil and other parameters.
