AB  - Large  numbers  of  offshore  wind  turbines,  near-shore  bridges  and  port  facilities  are  supported  by  driven piles.  The  design  and  installation  of  such piles is  often  problematic  in  Chalk,  a  low-density, porous, weak carbonate rock, which is present under large areas of NW Europe. There is little  guidance  available  to  designers  on  driveability,  axial  capacity,  the lateral  pile  resistance  which dominates  offshore  wind  turbine  monopile  behaviour,  or  on  how  piles  can  sustain  axial  or  lateral  cyclic loading. This paper describes the ALPACA project which involves comprehensive field testing at  a  low-to-medium  density  chalk  research  test  site.  The  project  is  developing  new  design  guidance  through  comprehensive  field  testing  and  analysis  combined  with  in-situ  testing  campaigns  and  advanced static-and-cyclic laboratory testing on high quality block and rotary core samples.
