From page 1...
... Analyses of the data, guided by the state of practice led to findings detailing the performance of various static and dynamic analyses methods when compared to recorded pile performance. Static capacity evaluation methods used in common design practices were found overall to over-predict the observed pile capacities.

From page 2...
... The need for the modification of LRFD for use in geotechnical applications through knowledge-based parameters accounting for subsurface variability, quality of soil parameters estimation, and previous experience as well as amount and type of testing during construction is presented.
