Site-specific resistance factors can improve the design of driven pile foundations for superstructures. These resistance factors are crucial for the design and construction aspects, as they govern the design requirements and specifications for construction. AASHTO has implemente…

The design of driven piles has drawn significant interest among the researchers in soils, however occasionally addressed in the shale. A trustworthy design methodology for driven piles in shale is yet to be developed due to lacking a high-quality database. Consequently, the conv…
