    Incorporating Set-Up Into Reliability-Based Design Of Driven Piles In Sandy Soils

    By Luo Yang

    It has been known that after initial pile driving, pile capacity gain over time (set-up) could constitute a significant portion of the total pile capacity. In the past, there has been very little guid
