Trang 4Pile Driving Terminology
Anchor Pile: pile that is connected to a structure
Butt of pile: the fat end of the pile
Cushion: spreads out impact of the hammer
Cutoff: height you cut your pile after its been driven Downdrag: condition that adds load to the installed pile Driving cap/ helmet: protects top of pile while
being driven
Embedment: how much is in the ground
Overdriving: too much driving damages your piles
Penetration: how far it goes in each time you hit it
Pile bent: more than one pile driven in a cluster
Pile-driving shoe: Metal shoe on bottom end to
make it go in better
Soldier pile: holds up an excavation
Tension pile: holds structure down from
being pulled out

Trang 6Pile Hammers
• Drop Hammers
– Only used in remote
areas with less piles
– Time of completion is not important
– Productivity
• 4-8 blows/min
– Not suitable for
concrete piles
Trang 7Pile Hammers
• Double-Acting
Hammers
– “ram” is driven by compressed air to steam both when rising and when
Trang 11• Double-Acting hammer
Trang 12Pile Hammer
• Hydraulic Drivers
– Press-in hydraulic pile driver
– Used for thrusting and extracting
steel H piles and steel sheet piles
– Compact, minimal noise, and little vibration
Trang 13Pile Hammers
• Vibratory Pile
Driver
– Used when piles
are driven into
water-saturated
non-cohesive soils – Powered either
electrically or
hydraulically
Trang 14Pile driving by Jacking
• Used extensively
in underpinning
situations
Trang 15Jetting Piles
• Use of water to assist in driving piles into sand or fine gravel
• Reduces the
resistance due to skin friction
Trang 16Spudding and Preaugering
Trang 17Timber Piles
• Typically 8" tip and 12" butt diameters
• Common lengths 15' to 50'
• Typically made from pressure treated
southern pine or Douglas fir woods
• use includes temporary structures, docking and fender systems, detour bridges and
Bailey bridges

Trang 24• Precast or cast in place
• Square, cylindrical, octagonal
low impact velocity
• Excavate Soil plug to existing
soil elevation
Trang 25Concrete Piles: Precast-Prestressed Concrete Piles
•Displacement piles , the most common in Florida
•Typically used where limestone or dense stratum is <125'
•Used in corrosive environments
•Used as friction piles, end bearing piles, and combination of both
•Voided piles are made to reduce pile weight
•Voided piles with solid ends provide some protection during driving
•Driven as a group can densify soils in the immediate area
•Large, heavy, hard to cut/splice
•High transportation costs
Trang 26Concrete Piles: Cast in Place with Shells (cased)
Trang 27Cast in place, cont’d: Cast in situ pile (Franki technique)
Advantages:
• Fast
• Economical,
• Reinforcement of pile shaft can be increased at top of pile
• Effective method of making an enlarged base
• Allowable pile loads can be very high, up to 2500 kN
Trang 28Concrete Piles:
Augered Cast in Place (uncased)
•Drilling with auger
• Inject grout through the auger • Reinforcing is inserted before it cures• 3000-5000 PSI
Trang 29Concrete Piles: Bent/Pier Piles
•Pile tops generally are at or below
existing grade.
•piles are tied together with a pile cap
(footing)
•column is constructed from the pile cap
up to the required beam seat elevation
•finished for connection to the structure.
•piles rise above the ground surface
to a specified elevation
• piles are tied together with a bent cap.
Trang 30• Greater depth
• H-sections, hollow box/tubular
secions, or pipes
• More expensive per length of pile
• Higher load-carrying capacity can reduce driving costs
• Little displacement=high transfer
of energy to bottom of pile
Trang 31Steel Piles:
H-Piles
• Are non-displacement piles
• Not as common as concrete piles
• Typically used where pile lengths over 125‘ are needed or extremely variable subsurface conditions exist
• Ease of splicing is big advantage
• Non displacement piles are often used where a
large number of piles are needed in a small area,
such as under a Bascule bridge pier
Trang 32Steel Piles: Open Ended Pipe Piles
•The least common of the typical piles
•Are hollow pre-stressed concrete pipes manufactured to project needs
•Used when project is accessible by barge
•Used in corrosive environments
•Can be used as both end-bearing and friction piles
•Displacement piles, following installation can be filled with concrete
or other materials
•Very heavy and requires larger than typical barges, cranes and
driving equipment
Trang 34Advantages of Composite Pilings:
• High strength-to-weight ratio
•Directional strength
•Corrosion & weather resistance
•Dimensional stability
•Low thermal conductivity
•Low coefficient of thermal expansion
•Non-magnetic
•High impact strength
•Low maintenance
•Long term durability
•Tailored surface finish
•light weight

Trang 39Sheet Piles: Materials
• Steel Sheet Piles
– Two common types
found in the U.S
• Flat and Z section sheets
Trang 40Sheet Piles: Plastic
• it does not rust or rot;
• no risk of sparking;
• maintains its original
appearance over time,
• not affected by salt water;
• resistant to marine borers
and rodent attack;
• easily cut or bored;
• maintenance free;
• lighter to handle;
• available in a variety of
colours
