Pile freeze
Pile freeze
(OP)
I am being told by the geotech engineer for a deep foundation project that by driving reaction piles near a driven test pile (that has been assumed to have experienced freeze over 2+ weeks) that the freeze was broken by driving these reaction piles thus causing the test pile to fail during the static load test. Does this make sense?

In clay soils, I have also experienced a phenomenon in which the adjoining piles heave up the test pile. This is especially true for displacement piles such as pipe piles.
