The dynamic performance of helical piles is of significant interest because such piles can offer an efficient alternative to conventional piling systems in many applications where the foundation is subjected to dynamic loads. This paper presents the results of full-scale dynamic vertical load tests on a 9.0 m double-helix, large-capacity helical pile and a driven steel pile of the same length and shaft geometry. Comparing the results is considered necessary to evaluate, qualitatively and quantitatively, the dynamic performance characteristics of large-capacity helical piles. The test piles were closed-ended steel shafts with an outer diameter of 324 mm. The piles were subjected to harmonic (quadratic) loading of different force intensities acting within a frequency range that covered the resonant frequencies of the tested pile-soil-cap systems. The dynamic and static properties of the subsurface soil adjacent to the test piles were determined using the seismic cone penetration technique and the conventional soil boring and testing methods. In addition, field observations are compared with calculated responses using the program DYNA 6 to better understand the pile-soil interaction for the case of helical piles. The effects of soil nonlinearity and pile-soil separation were accounted for in the analysis by employing a weak boundary zone around the piles in the analytical model. The experimental results show that the dynamic behaviour of helical piles is essentially the same as that of driven steel piles with the same geometric properties (without the helix plates). In addition, it was demonstrated that the program DYNA 6 can accurately simulate the behaviour of both helical and driven piles.
