PILOT:

PIle LOad Tests (PILOT) is an amalgamated, electronic source of information comprising both static and dynamic data for driven piles. This database, developed in Microsoft Access, includes quality assured pile load test data dating back to 1966. Intended for use in the establishment of LRFD resistance factors and reliable construction control methods for driven piles and their future developments, PILOT currently provides an electronically organized assimilation of geotechnical and pile load test data for 274 piles of various types (e.g., steel H-shaped, timber, pipe, Monotube, and concrete) driven within the State of Iowa. With additional information and resources, it is the vision of the project team to expand PILOT to accommodate driven pile data from other states.
