In order to meet the high requirements of marine environmental protection and Eurocodes, based on the actual construction conditions of deep water on site in Croatia, the extra-long steel pile foundation was adopted to Pelješac Bridge. At the meantime the corresponding extra-large scale pile driving barge had to be used to carried out during the construction. The pile bearing capacity was analyzed and checked by the actual measured PDA (Pile Driving Analyzer) data. The test results showed that the toe bearing capacity of driven piles had linear relationship with blow counts, and the penetration (displacement/blow) before the stoppage was inversely proportional to toe bearing capacity. In addition, the traditional empirical formula of long-term pile bearing capacity of driven piles was only suitable for the piles, which were shorter than 100m. The stoppage criteria of extra-long pile should concentrate on penetration firstly, while the pile design elevation was subsidiary factor. Therefore, the analysis of pile driving procedure and results could be considered as significant actual engineering reference for the coming works.

Buildings that stand on soft soil usually use a pile foundation. Testing the ultimate bearing capacity of pile foundations in the field is a Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA) tool. Besides being inexpensive to test, the results can also be known quickly. This tool is supported by a software called CAPWAP (CAse Pile Wave Analysis Program).In this paper, a performance comparison of the Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA) and CAPWAP (CAse Pile Wave Analysis Program) software will be presented in producing the ultimate bearing capacity of pile foundations. The results of both will be analyzed in such a way that the causes of the differences in the performance of the Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA) and the CAPWAP software are known.The results obtained show that the performance of the Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA) tool will not be optimal if the energy transferred to the pile foundation is too small. The energy given by the hammer when struck must be in the range of 1% - 2%, if it is smaller then the performance of the tool in producing the ultimate bearing capacity will not be representative. The difference in the ultimate bearing capacity between the PDA device and the CAPWAP software for energy transferred to the pile foundation (EMX) under the specified energy standard is 10.71% - 33.23%. Meanwhile, energy that meets the specified standards has a value between 0.24% - 1.80%.

The paper summarizes investigations on jacked and driven piles in non-uniform soils consisting of clay and sand. Part 1 deals with the bearing capacity of piles penetrating through clay into sand whereas Part 2 discusses the case of piles in a sand stratum overlying clay. Preliminary tests on small model piles have been undertaken to study the effects on the point resistance of parameters such as the strength and thickness of a clay stratum, the strength ratio of soils in the two layers and the geometry of the layers. Based on these results, tests on a 76 mm diameter instrumented steel pile and a 36 mm diameter static cone penetrometer have been carried out for selected combinations of the variables involved.The test results are analysed to determine the influence of clay thickness and strength on the point resistance of piles in sand, expressed by a non-dimensional clay strength factor λ, and parameters influencing λ are discussed. The effect of layering on the shaft friction in sand and the radial stresses along the pile length are studied. The efficiency of small groups of model piles in layered soils is obtained. Field data are analysed, including scale effects, and simple design rules are suggested to estimate the bearing capacity of piles in layered soils.

AbstractMarine fouling is a worldwide problem, which is harmful to the global marine ecological environment and economic benefits. The traditional antifouling strategy usually uses toxic antifouling agents, which gradually exposes a serious environmental problem. Therefore, green, long-term, broad-spectrum and eco-friendly antifouling technologies have been the main target of engineers and researchers. In recent years, many eco-friendly antifouling technologies with broad application prospects have been developed based on the low toxicity and non-toxicity antifouling agents and materials. In this review, contemporary eco-friendly antifouling technologies and materials are summarized into bionic antifouling and non-bionic antifouling strategies (2000–2020). Non-bionic antifouling technologies mainly include protein resistant polymers, antifoulant releasing coatings, foul release coatings, conductive antifouling coatings and photodynamic antifouling technology. Bionic antifouling technologies mainly include the simulated shark skin, whale skin, dolphin skin, coral tentacles, lotus leaves and other biology structures. Brief future research directions and challenges are also discussed in the end, and we expect that this review would boost the development of marine antifouling technologies.

Soil investigation has an important role before building a building. The carrying capacity of the soil obtained from the results of soil investigations is very influential on the shape and dimensions of the foundation itself. In the PT.Asahi Forge Indonesia Project, the SPT test data is out of sync with the actual piling results related to embedded pile penetration. The design plan for piles with a length of 7 m based on the N-SPT test turned out that in the field, the piles achieved a bearing capacity at a depth of 9 meters. The final project aims to analyze and compare the carrying capacity of a single pile based on static methods and N-SPT test on the Pile Driving Analyzer. The method used in this research is the study method of laboratory test results and N-SPT. Work steps include; preparation, literature study, data collection, carrying capacity analysis, and comparison of analysis results. The results of the analysis of the carrying capacity of the piles based on the static method by the  (Vijayvergiya & Focht, 1974)  method  amounted to 549,201 kN; The (McClelland, 1974) Method  of 426,292 kN; The U.S Army Corps Method is 459,545 kN and the Tomlinson (1977)  Method is 474,191 kN. While the results of N-SPT were bearing piles bearing capacity with the Mayerhof (1956) method of 738,645 kN and the Schmertmann (1967) Method of 451,327 kN.  Based on these results, the N-SPT test based on the Mayerhof  (1956) Method of 738,645 kN was the closest to the PDA test results of 755,116 kN. The comparison of the results of the analysis between the static test, N-SPT and PDA test is 19: 24: 30. This means that the carrying capacity of the static pile and PDA test has a difference of 37% while between the N-SPT and PDA test has a difference of 20%.
