(Practice)Standard Practice for Establishing Allowable Stresses for Round Timber Piles
Standard Practice for Establishing Allowable Stresses for Round Timber Piles
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
This practice is intended for use by associations, technical societies and other groups that develop national design standards and use recommendations for round timber piles.
In using allowable stresses established under this practice, factors specific to each end use which may affect the performance of the pile system shall be considered. Such factors include the location of the critical section, the bearing capacity of the soil, the ability of the pile to withstand driving forces and conditions of service.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice contains procedures for establishing allowable stresses for round timber piles starting with clear wood strength properties.
1.2 Stresses established under this practice are applicable to piles conforming to the quality, straightness, spiral grain, knot, check, shake, and split provisions of Specification D25.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

3.1 Definitions:
3.1.1 allowable stress—the numeric value of pile strength that is appropriate for use in structural analysis.
3.1.2 end-bearing—compression-parallel-to-the-grain stress resulting when pile load is not carried to the soil through skin
friction.
3.1.3 load sharing—the distribution of load in proportion to pile stiffness.This results in piles that perform as a group reducing
effects of between-pile variability and increasing system reliability over that of piles which perform independently.
3.1.4 skin friction—the interaction between the pile surface and the soil which serves to distribute load either away from or into
a pile. A positive skin friction refers to pile loads distributed to the soil. Negative skin friction distributes load to the pile when
soil strata subside or consolidate.
