As-built piles stresses
As-built piles stresses
(OP)
Is there a standard practice to allow for an overstress in a pile in the as-built state. I have a bunch of wooden piles that are out of tolerance. Upon analysis, some of the piles are overstressed by less than 10%. I have been told that it is common to allow this tolerance for a pile group in the as built condition. I am wondering if this is common or not.

You shouldn't have to tell the client the piles are overstressed if they have been driven within tolerance.
