Bonner Bridge on North Carolina Highway 12 has provided a critical link across the Oregon Inlet but suffered from severe scour and deterioration in the harsh marine environment, resulting in nearly continual maintenance, repair and retrofit. The replacement bridge, named in honor of State Senator Marc Basnight, is designed to provide a 100-year service life, resist unprecedented scour depths and minimize environmental impacts. 75 Member Profile: Maurice Bottiau — DFI Europe Founder, a Valuable Link 81 Large Diameter Open End Piles for Rigolets Pass Bridge in Louisiana Murad Y. Abu-Farsakh, Ph.D., P.E., Md. Nafiul Haque, Ph.D., and Chris Nickel, P.E. This article presents the results from a pile load testing program of three spun-cast post tensioned open-end cylinder piles and a square prestressed concrete pile at four different locations along the bridge construction site. Dynamic load tests and CAPWAP analyses were performed on each of the test piles at different waiting periods after pile installation. Static load testing and Statnamic load testing were also conducted. DEEP FOUNDATIONS • SEPT/OCT 2019 • 3 O T N A S D I N N S U T O I T F U E P T E E D
