To develop reliable models for the design of open-ended steel-pipe piles driven into 29-m-thick varved clayey silt deposits, a series of full-scale field load tests including large-strain dynamic tests and static cyclic axial-compression-load tests was conducted on two groups of instrumented piles. Through analysis of the test data, soil parameters were back-calculated for estimation of pile capacities using the static-bearing-capacity formulas and cone-resistance-based methods. The comparisons between the calculated results and the field load test data demonstrated that the following considerations can be adopted in the design of static compression capacities of an open-ended pipe pile penetrating through thick varved clayey silts to end-bearing in dense cohesionless soils: (1) a fully plugged condition can be assumed, (2) cone resistance with an upper limit of 4,788 kPa (100 ksf) can be used for unit base resistance on the soil plug, and (3) exterior unit shaft resistance can be estimated using two-thirds of the total unit shaft resistance.
