Report on pile testing for AEP transmission lines - part II

This paper and the companion paper, Part I, cover the American Electric Power Company (AEP) pile testing program of 1966 and 1967 in southern Michigan and northern Indiana. These two papers present the results of uplift, compression and lateral load tests on numerous types and sizes of piles. Load versus movement and ultimate capacities of the various types of piles are compared with each other and with calculated expected values. Part II includes the Test Results and Discussion and the Summary and Conclusions. See Part I for the Introduction, Description of Test Sites, Number and Types of Piles and Installation Records, and Description of Test Equipment.
