May 2, 2014 Mr. Jonathan Tremmier Pile Hammer Equipment, Inc. 1451 Scenic Hwy Rising Fawn, GA 30738 Re: Dynamic Pile Testing Results Crescent Foundation Demonstration Test Pile Vulcan SC9 Hammer Kenner, Louisiana GRL Job No. 1432012-1 Mr. Tremmier, This report presents the results from dynamic pile testing, and related data analysis, performed during the initial drive testing of the subject Test Pile on April 30, 2014, at the above referenced jobsite location in Kenner, Louisiana. The primary test objective was the monitoring of the hammer/driving system performance. Additionally, the testing objectives included the monitoring of dynamic pile driving stresses, pile structural integrity, and pile static bearing capacity. These objectives were met by means of a Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA), Model PAX, which uses the Case Method for numerical computations. An additional analysis was performed on a selected test record using the CAPWAP computer program. Discussions on the testing equipment, analytical procedures, theory, application, and limitations are presented in Appendix A. Testing and analysis results are presented in Appendix B. FIELD DETAILS Instrumentation and Driving Sequence - Dynamic measurements of strain and acceleration were taken 3 feet below the top of a 45 feet long, 6.75-inch O.D. x 0.5 inch wall thickness, steel pipe section used as pile follower. This steel pipe follower was positioned on top of an existing approximately 35 feet long timber pile section and the timber pile driven below grade. Strain and acceleration signals were conditioned and converted to forces and velocities by the PDA and digitally stored by the PDA for later reprocessing.

Pile Hammer Equipment, Inc. May 2, 2014 Crescent Foundation Demonstration Test Pile w/ Vulcan SC9 Hammer Kenner, Louisiana GRL Job No. 1432012-1 Page 2 of 5 Pile Details - The tested pile consisted of two sections with the top section being a 45 feet long 6.75 inch O.D. x 0.5 inch wall thickness steel pipe follower and the lower 35 feet of the composite pile consisting of a 12-inch butt diameter timber pile section. The timber pile section was driven to grade prior to our arrival onsite. The steel pipe upper section material properties were used as inputs for the PDA data collection. A steel material elastic modulus of 30,000 ksi and a material unit weight of 492 lbs./ft 3 were used in the analyses. An overall wave speed of 13,650 ft./sec was measured based off of the location and timing of the pile toe wave reflection. The CAPWAP program was used to model the non-uniform composite pile sections. Hammer Driving System Details - A Vulcan model SC9 single acting air hammer was used to drive and test the pile. This hammer model has a reported impacting ram weight of 3.0 kips and a maximum rated energy of 9.0 kip-ft. at its full stroke height of 36 inches. Reportedly, no hammer cushion was installed in the drive cap for the driving/testing. Below is a photo of the hammer and pile combination as tested. GRL Engineers, Inc.

Pile Hammer Equipment, Inc. May 2, 2014 Crescent Foundation Demonstration Test Pile w/ Vulcan SC9 Hammer Kenner, Louisiana GRL Job No. 1432012-1 Page 3 of 5 Subsurface Conditions - The reader is referred to the appropriate geotechnical/foundations report(s) for details regarding the subsurface information at this site, if applicable. The testing was performed at 101 W. 27 th Street at Crescent Foundations, Inc. in Kenner, Louisiana. No subsurface soils information was provided to us for this project. ANALYSIS AND RESULTS Case Method - The PDA interprets the measured force and velocity records according to the Case Method equations. The dynamic test data was evaluated for hammer and driving system performance, pile head compression stresses, structural integrity, and static pile capacity. Appendix B summarizes the dynamic results obtained for the tested pile. The tables in Appendix B present several types of information including the energy transferred from the hammer to the pile top (EMX), the hammer energy transfer ratio (ETR) expressed as a percent of the maximum theoretical potential energy, the hammer blow rate in blows/minute (BPM), the maximum calculated pile top force (FMX) and compression stress (CSX), the maximum pile top displacement (DMX), and the Case Method estimates of pile capacity using RMX equations with damping coefficient Jc=0.70 and 0.90. The PDA results are presented in table format and plotted versus penetration below the ground surface reference. CAPWAP - The CAse Pile Wave Analysis Program (CAPWAP) computes soil resistance forces and their approximate distribution using the PDA force and velocity pile data recorded in the field during dynamic pile testing. CAPWAP results include the ultimate pile capacity value, the soil resistance distribution along the pile shaft and toe, soil quake and damping factors, as well as a simulated static load-set graph. A dynamic test record obtained from the end of pile testing at a penetration of 76 feet was analyzed with CAPWAP. The results of the CAPWAP analysis are included in Appendix B. GRL Engineers, Inc.

Pile Hammer Equipment, Inc. May 2, 2014 Crescent Foundation Demonstration Test Pile w/ Vulcan SC9 Hammer Kenner, Louisiana GRL Job No. 1432012-1 Page 4 of 5 DISCUSSION OF RESULTS Hammer and Driving System Performance The maximum transferred energy (EMX) generally ranged from 2.0 to 2.4 kip-ft. during PDA testing. The average energy at the end of initial testing at a penetration of 76 feet was 2.23 kip-ft. This corresponding energy transfer ratio (ETR), expressed as a percent of the maximum theoretical potential energy of 9.0 kip-ft., was 25% (i.e., 2.23 kip-ft. / 9.0 kip-ft.). The hammer was reportedly operated at the maximum 3.0 feet ram stroke height during testing. The hammer blow rate ranged between 55 and 57 blows/minute. Dynamic Pile Stresses and Integrity During testing, the maximum average compressive stress at the PDA gage location (CSX) throughout the testing was less than 13.4 ksi. The maximum compression stress, calculated by CAPWAP in the non-uniform lower timber pile section, was less than 1.0 ksi at the end of driving. These stress levels are less than the typical limiting values for these two pile material sections. The dynamic pile testing data does not contain characteristics that would indicate pile integrity issues. Static Pile Bearing Capacity CAPWAP analysis was performed with a PDA test record from the end of initial testing at 76 feet penetration before the PDA gages were removed and pile top driven below grade. The blow counts throughout PDA testing typically ranged between 10 and 30 blows/foot with the hammer reportedly operating at the maximum stroke height. CAPWAP analysis results from the end of testing at 76 feet penetration indicate an ultimate capacity of 33 kips at a blow count of 26 blows/foot. Detailed results are presented in Appendix B.
