CONFERENCE DAY ONETUESDAY, 24 NOVEMBER 2015

08:30 Coffee and Registration

09:00 Opening Remarks from Conference Chairman

Stephen Gamble Senior Geotechnical Engineer, Douglas Partners 09:10 Large Diameter Piles to Speed Up Construction + Case Study The terminology around large diameter bored piles is experiencing new meanings with pile diameters of approximately 3m being now used. Such large diameters can provide significant cost reductions with respect to both direct costs and construction program. However, there are specific aspects of pile performance that should be accounted for in the design and their effect on the superstructure. As part of this seminar, the following topics will be cored: • Benefits and disadvantages of large bored piles • Design aspect of large diameter bored piles • Pile performance • Two case studies: (1) bridge design with 2.4m to 2.7m diameter piles. (2) High-rise development with 2.4m diameter piles

Dr David Oliveira Principal Geotechnical Engineer, Coffey 09:50 Gateway WA Gateway WA Perth Airport and Freight Access Project is WA’s largest ever road project, designed to improve the safety and efficiency of one of the state’s most important transport hubs.

Secant CFA piles have been used as foundation and earth retaining solutions for one of the main intersections that required top-down construction, while screw piles have been used as a buoyancy control system of semi-submerged “bath structures” and to provide foundation stability against vehicle impact on a footbridge.

This presentation will cover design, construction and testing aspects of CFA and screw piles in the Gateway WA project with emphasis in the following topics: • Ground and groundwater conditions • Geotechnical compression and uplift capacity • Numerical analysis • Soil-structure interaction • Influence of construction sequence on design • Construction challenges • Static and dynamic pile testing • Suitability of torque- capacity correlations for screw pile design • Pile acceptance criteria

Dr Giovanny Alvarado Principal Geotechnical Engineer, AECOM

10:30 Speed Networking A guided and effective structured interactive session designed to help you expand your network through one-on-one focused conversations

11:00 Morning Tea and Networking Break

11:30 Innovative Ground Improvement Technique to Improve Efficiency and Meet Tight Design Criteria WSP/Parsons Brinckerhoff has been using concrete injection columns (CIC) ground improvement technique on a few major highway projects,

including a recent Pacific Highway Upgrade Project. This technique is different to the traditional piled embankment design in that the embankment load is shared between the columns and the surrounding soil, with majority of the load taken by the columns and the piles allowed to settle beyond their ‘bearing capacity’ with no steel reinforcement. This approach offers time and cost savings to piled embankment in which the piles are treated as structural elements and designed to piling code.

Case Study: Bridge Approach Treatment for Ongoing Pacific Highway Upgrade Project: • Bridge approaches over soft compressible ground up to 20m in depth • High embankment with design height of 5 to 8m • Tight total and differential pavement settlement criteria close to bridge abutments • Tight construction program • Comprehensive design analysis methods including 1-D, 2-D and 3-D limit equilibrium method and finite element method • Issues of ground heave and column movements during installation and engineering solutions • Construction monitoring data compared with design predictions • Back analyses of monitoring data for estimating long term pavement settlement

Henry Zhang Principal Geotechnical Engineer, WSP/Parsons Brinckerhoff

12:10 Drilling Support Fluids - Fundamentals and Recent Developments Drilling support fluids have been used for decades to stabilize deep excavations for bored piles and diaphragm walls. The talk will focus on the fundamental behaviour of different drilling support fluids and the limitations of the most common fluid types depending on the excavation method and ground conditions. Full or partial collapses of deep excavations will cause quality problems which can significantly affect the program and budget of deep foundation projects. The presentation will also introduce recent developments in the area of drilling support fluids and discuss best practise and QA requirements on site.

The following topics will be covered: • Difference between bentonite and polymer drilling support fluids • Advantages and limitations of different fluid types • Suitable ground conditions for drilling fluids • Recent developments and best practise

Dr Martin Larisch Principal, Missing Link Engineering

12:40 Pile Performance and Prediction Events (PPPE) AS 2159-2009 requires that piles are designed to satisfy the inequalities that resistance is greater than applied load at both the Ultimate Limit State (ULS) and the Serviceability Limit State (SLS). It is clear that, especially for rock socketed piles, the SLS may control, and this was acknowledged back in 1998 by Pells et al where Tables 5a and 5b gave values for end bearing pressure at the SLS which were 5 to 10 times lower than the end bearing pressures for ULS, when the loads would typically be only 1.3 to 1.5 timesless. Thus it is important to be able to predict pile performance.

CONFERENCE DAY ONETUESDAY, 24 NOVEMBER 2015

This presentation will give examples from international experience, where pile load testing to provide the necessary data is far more common, and also from the Gateway Upgrade. In addition reference will be made to Pile Prediction events, which are “games” played by some geotechnical engineers, to predict the performance of piles during a static load test, before the test has been carried out, based on provided geotechnical data. I have been involved in one in Edmonton, Canada in 2011, another in Santa Cruz, Bolivia in 2013, one in Santa Catarina, Brazil in June 2015, and a second one in Santa Cruz, Bolivia also in June 2015.

The results will be presented and discussed.

14:20 Dam Wall Toe Stabilisation Using Mass Soil Mixing Techniques As part of the regional water authority review and upgrade of local dams a 35m x 5m x 3m wet soil mixed block was required for stabilisation of a dam wall toe in remote Victoria, Australia. Remote access, extremely poor roads and high mobilisation costs made more traditional CSM and deep mixing methods cost prohibitive. The dam required a redesign to raise the wall by 2.0m to increase water storage. Additionally, the dam required additional stabilisation to reduce the risk of liquefaction during an earthquake event.

This presentation will cover the following steps taken on this project: • Soil testing indicating loose, cohesionless, high permeability soils to a depth of 3.0 to 3.5m across the toe of the wall • Laboratory trials to determine the mix ratio of cement required to improve the strength of the saturated, liquefiable soil • Implications of soft ground conditions • Wet grab sampling and in situ testing to determine the UCS of the improved soil

David Martel Construction Manager, Wagstaff Piling

15:00 Piled-raft Foundation Design and Case Study The use of piled raft foundations for medium to super high rise buildings is becoming popular in the past two decades. Piled raft foundations utilize piled support for control of settlements, with piles providing most of the stiffness under serviceability conditions and the raft element providing additional capacity at the ultimate condition. As a result, the number of piles required can be reduced when the raft is designed to provide this additional capacity.

Therefore, a piled raft foundation is considered as a cost effective foundation alternative to a fully piled option.

This presentation will cover the following: • Design approach for piled raft foundation • Advantages of piled raft foundations • Discussion on the design process and issues need to be addressed for the foundation design • Design criteria for the ultimate limit state • Comparison of performance for a piled raft and a pile group • Case study on the foundation design for a tall building in Asia

Dr Helen Chow Senior Geotechnical Engineer, Coffey Geotechnics 15:40 Spotlight Presentation by DYWIDAG - Systems International

15:55 Afternoon Tea and Networking Break

16:20 Observations from Christchurch Earthquakes: Liquefaction, Lateral Spreading, and Performance of Deep Foundations This talk will highlight key characteristics of Christchurch liquefaction triggered in the 2010- 2011 Canterbury earthquakes and will focus on the effects of lateral spreading on pile foundations of bridges. Seismic loads, severity of liquefaction, consequent lateral spreading and their effects on pile foundations will be explored in detail using well-documented case studies and numerical analyses. The following topics will be covered: • Characteristics of Christchurch liquefaction • Classification of lateral spreading • Engineering evaluation of lateral spreading • Behaviour of piles in liquefied soils: considerations of ground movement and liquefaction impacts • Damage mechanism for short-span bridges subjected to lateral spreading • Whole bridge pseudo-static analysis: application to a case study • Key factors affecting pile response in liquefiable soils

Professor Misko Cubrinovski Civil & Natural Resources Engineering, University of Canterbury

17:00 State of the Art Driven Pile Installation Monitoring and Online Data Management The Pile Driving Monitor (PDM) is a state-of-the-art monitoring device for use in driven pile installation and verification. This device, along with recently developed online databasing software PileManager, has been implemented on major projects as part of advanced pile verification processes to streamline pile verification and sign-off. This presentation will present a case study of the Yeppen Floodplain Upgrade Project in Queensland, which involved the installation of around 1000 No. octagonal prestressed concrete piles. The use of PDM in conjunction with advanced verification techniques incorporating dynamic testing enabled piles to be signed off quickly and efficiently despite a high level of variability in driving conditions. The outcome was a successfully installed and rigorously certified foundation system, which was achieved without impacting piling productivity.

This presentation will cover the following issues: • Installation monitoring methodology for driven piles using PDM equipment • Advanced pile capacity verification techniques to optimise quality and efficiency • The implementation of ‘PileManager’ online database software for project and quality management on piling projects.

Stephen Gamble Senior Geotechnical Engineer, Douglas Partners

9:10 Excavation Induced Shear Forces on Retention Piles Installed in Sydney Rocks The presence of high locked in lateral stresses in Sydney sandstone and shale is well established. The better the rock quality, the higher is the locked in lateral stress. In unsupported excavations in these materials, stress relief simply causes the rock to move a small amount towards the excavation. However, in some cases, soldier piles are installed below excavation level as part of the shoring system to retain an upper zone of soil or poor quality rock, to mitigate potential wedge instability particularly in shales, and/or to provide axial load carrying elements for the superstructure. In these cases, the high locked in stresses can induce high shear forces onto the shoring piles. This presentation will cover the following issues:

• Magnitude of locked in horizontal stresses in Sydney sandstone and shale • Circumstances where shoring piles may be installed below bulk excavation levels • Interaction of excavation induced lateral movements with stiffness of the shoring piles • The consequence of stress relief and high shear forces on the shoring piles • A discussion on the design philosophy for retention piles installed in Sydney rocks

Patrick Wong Senior Principal, Coffey Geotechnics

9:50 Cutting Cost and Generating Efficiency Through Correct Pile Design and Seismic Dilometer Case Study - Macleay River Plain Bridge: Economical design of pile foundations which substantially cut cost of the tile foundations by 30%. A Seismic Dilatometer is used to speed up the rate of gaining valuable information for design. The testing provided a solution to acquire the necessary design information at pace, which was confirmed by high quality testing during the subsequent phases of investigation.

• Reflections on Modern Geotechnical Investigation: use of the Seismic Dilatometer for design • Obtaining reliable design values to ensure programme deadlines are met • Selecting the correct design of ground improvement • Modelling piles and pile groups • Cutting cost & generating efficiency: Looking at pile behavior in finite element program to identify different behaviours • Changing the mindset: Reconciling different perceptions and accepting results

Sergei Terzaghi Principal, Arup

10:30 The Victorian Regional Rail Link – City to Maribyrnong River The Regional Rail Link comprised a significant amount of foundation works in challenging geotechnical conditions in a live rail corridor with limited site access and tight construction schedules. Over 50,000 lm of piling works were undertaken in package B alone of the Regional Rail Link. The piling works included CMCs, bored piles, driven precast piles, driven steel tube piles, sheet piles and CFA. Piling was not only used for structural support but also for ground improvement works to eliminate the removal of excess spoil across the project. • Ground improvement works – CMC piling • Precast piling in flood plain alluvium and challenging fill • Temporary works design issues – lessons learnt • Safe working conditions in a congested live rail corridor • Piling works in the Maribyrnong River – habitat of the endangered grayling fish • Piling works in the ARTC dive structure • Rolling out a timely, and cost effective project

11:10 Morning Tea and Networking Break

11:40 State Highway 20A to Airport, Auckland, NZ State Highway 20A is the primary route between Auckland Airport and the greater Auckland area. To remove the last remaining traffic signalised intersection on this route, the state highway will be trenched beneath Kirkbride Road. The trench will be 30m wide, 460m long and 7m deep below ground level at its deepest point. Ground conditions are challenging with several metres of soft compressible peat, loose sands and a high groundwater table. The walls of the trench will be constructed using propped and cantilever diaphragm walls, which will also support the bridge. The concrete base slab will be subjected to hydrostatic uplift pressures which will be resisted using steel screw piles. This project is being delivered by the MHX Kirkbride Alliance consisting of NZTA, Beca, Fletchers and Higgins. The presentation will include the following topics:

• Soft soils • Liquefaction • Seismic soil-structure interaction • Screw pile testing and performance

Wayne Pooley Associate Geotechnical Engineer, Beca

12:20 Cockatoo Island Seawall Seepage Barrier – Permeation Grouting, Jet Grouting and a Soil/ Cement/Bentonite Mixed Slurry Capping Trench The remotely located Cockatoo Island iron ore mine off the Kimberly coast in Western Australia, which has been in operation since 1951, was recently expanded up to 50m below sea-level using staged construction of a rock-filled seawall around the open cut mining operation. The most recent stage of the seawall expansion required a seepage reducing cut-off barrier to be installed through the seawall into underlying seabed sediments. A line of grout holes at 1m centres was proposed to form the seepage barrier, with grouting extending 17m below the top of the seawall.

WORKSHOP A:8:00-10:30

Screw Pile Design and ConstructionScrew piles are a versatile type of foundation suitable for a range of ground conditions and applications. Advantages of this foundation system are rapid installation, immediate structural capacity, minimal site disturbance and potential verification of capacity via installation torque correlations (where supported by factual load test data).

This workshop will provide a state-of-the-art review of design methodologies followed by an illustration of practical applications including bridge foundations, rail infrastructure and buoyancy control systems. The following topics will be covered:

• Theoretical and empirical design methodologies• Practical applications• Construction considerations• Durability• Testing requirements

Facilitator: Dr Giovanny AlvaradoPrincipal Geotechnical Engineer, AECOM

WORKSHOP B:10:30 - 13:00

Seismic Design of PilesWhilst Australia is a low seismic country by global standards, seismic design of piles is increasingly being required for major or significant projects.

This workshop will discuss issues around seismic design of piles generally, and then the specific application in Australia and New Zealand. Topics to be canvassed will include:

• Site response (code vs site specific)• Co-seismic response• Post earthquake behaviours• Design actions

Facilitator: Sergei TerzaghiPrincipal, Arup

WORKSHOP C:13:30 - 16:00

Design and Construction of Piling Platforms It has been suggested that a third of accidents in the piling industry result from defects in working platforms with even more near misses unaccounted for, often resulting from inadequately prepared or maintained site surfaces. Working platforms offer critical support for major equipment used by all contractors and it is therefore essential that all contractors take ownership of responsibility for it.

This workshop will provide you with the tools to properly design construct and adequately maintain the integrity of the platform to meet industry standards and reduce the level of incidents occurring.

• Introduction, agenda and format• Detailed overview of the Working Platform Certificates• The effects of poor working platforms• Best practice guide to design, installation, maintenance and repair of ground supported platforms• Calculating the thickness of the platform and realistic parameters• Calculating the track bearing pressure

Facilitator: Stephen ButtlingPrincipal, National Geotechnical Consulting
