1 HELICAL SCREW PILE FOUNDATIONS Presented by: Laurence Boakes Azimuth Structural Engineering Ltd.
2 Historical Perspective 1 st Recorded use of a Screw Pile was by Alexander Mitchell in 1836 for Moorings and was then applied by Mitchell to Maplin Sands Lighthouse in England in Alexander Mitchell - brick maker by trade and blind from age 21 and would place his hands on the piles as they were installed to feel the torsion being applied. In 1858 use by Alfred Goodwyn of Corps of Royal Engineers is recorded for anchoring bundles of brushwood to protect the banks of rivers. In 1853 Eugenius Birch pioneered the use of Screw Piles for Seaside Pleasure Piers throughout England; the first of which was Margate Pier. From 1862 to 1872, 18 Piers were constructed using helical pile foundations.
3 on Submarine Foundations; particularly Screw-Pile and Moorings, by Alexander Mitchell, Civil Engineer and Architects Journal, Vol. 12, whether this broad spiral flange, or Ground Screw, as it may be termed, be applied to support a superincumbent weight, or be employed to resist an upward strain, its holding power entirely depends upon the area of its disc, the nature of the ground into which it is inserted, and the depth to which it is forced beneath the surface.

18 Helical Piles in USA In 1843, the 1st Screw Pile Light House was Constructed by Capt. William H. Swift at Black Rock Harbor in Connecticut. Swift had visited England to study the Screw Pile Technology developed by Mitchell. This was followed in 1848 by the Screw Pile Light House at Brandywine Shoal in Delaware Bay, Constructed by Major Hartman Bache and Lt. George G. Meade. Mitchell, who had been blind since the age of 21, sailed to Delaware and served as a consultant.

20 Development of Helical Piles As foundation technology progressed, steam power favoured the use of steam hammers in the early 1900 s and hence driven pile systems being widely adopted in the UK A similar quiet period for Helical Piles occurred in the USA, until the development of suitable power installation plant and equipment - hydraulics The first power installed Helical Piles were developed by Albert Bishop Chance, Centralia, Missouri, USA - AB Chance Co.
21 What is a Helical Pile?
22 What is a Helical Pile? A helical pile consists of a lead section comprising a solid or hollow (steel) shaft to which helical plates of varying diameters are attached. Subsequent flighted or plain extension sections are added to form a completed pile Helical plates typically vary in diameter from 150mm to 405mm The helices have a pitch of 75mm Helices are positioned along shaft at a spacing greater than 3D and at a multiple of the helix pitch
23 What is a Helical Pile? The pile is installed by means of applying a turning force to the head of the pile, whereby the helical plates generate a penetrating force similar to installing a screw into timber The torsion applied to the pile is proportional to the axial capacity of the pile The helical plates generate compression or tension resistance in end bearing Due to the spacing of the helices the capacities of the individual helical bearing plates is additive

85 HELICAL PULLDOWN MICROPILE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
86 HELICAL PULLDOWN Micropile - Installation Procedure Installation of a helical pile as a Pulldown Micropile allows a grout column to be formed around the shaft of the pile during installation A lead displacement plate is placed on the shaft of the pile behind the lead helices and is pulled into the soil by the advancing helical plates. The lead displacement plate forces soil laterally outward forming a cylindrical region around the pile shaft, which is immediately filled with grout from a reservoir at or above the ground surface to encapsulate the shaft The reservoir should be large enough to hold sufficient grout to allow installation of one complete extension section without emptying, thereby maintaining hydrostatic pressure in the grout column being formed
87 HELICAL PULLDOWN Micropile - Installation Procedure The grout reservoir could be; A grout box formed from timber shuttering A length of plastic pipe or steel tube A bucket with a hole formed in the base or a gorilla bucket for larger grout volumes For underpinning applications the excavation to expose the foundations is typically used to hold the grout during installation. The soil should be well compacted to prevent loose material entering the grout. If soil conditions consist of particularly loose material a section of damp proof membrane can be used to line the excavation
88 HELICAL PULLDOWN Micropile - Installation Procedure
89 HELICAL PULLDOWN Micropile - Installation Procedure
90 HELICAL PULLDOWN Micropile - Installation Procedure Due to the shape of the lead displacement plate and the consistent 75mm pitch of the helices, a thread is formed in the soil as the cylindrical region around the pile shaft is formed. This enhances pile performance as an amount of mechanical interlock in addition to adhesion is generated
91 HELICAL PULLDOWN Micropile - Installation Procedure Pile installation steps; Lead section installed until helices are below the bottom of the reservoir A lead displacement plate is attached to the pile shaft, bearing against the coupling of the extension section above. Tape or a zip tie are wrapped around the shaft to prevent it slipping down the shaft. There must be at least 450mm between the uppermost helix and the lead displacement plate Grout is then added to fill the reservoir with piling continuing through the retained grout. Grout should be mixed with equipment capable of providing a consistent supply of grout at the volume required. This may range from a colloidal plaster whisk to a ready mix truck. (For the majority of HPM s a bucket and hand mixer is generally sufficient)
92 HELICAL PULLDOWN Micropile - Installation Procedure Pile installation steps; Prior to mixing grout, pile components should be staged and marked up for installation
93 HELICAL PULLDOWN Micropile - Installation Procedure Pile installation steps; Pile installation proceeds with the grout reservoir being re-filled as each pile extension section is added to ensure that hydrostatic pressure is maintained Grout volume or Grout Drop is measured and recorded to monitor grout flow into the column Grout is typically; Mix A Expansive Microsil Grout Silica fume/sulphate resisting cement Water to Cement Ratio of 0.2 to 0.3 Mix C OPC Ordinary Portland Cement Water Cement Ratio of 0.42 to 0.48
94 HELICAL PULLDOWN Micropile - Installation Procedure Pile installation steps; Pile records are maintained detailing torque and depth as per a traditional helical pile. In addition grout flow/volume is recorded to ensure grout column integrity HELICAL PULLDOWN Micropile Installation Log Project Name: Project No: Page(s): of Project Address: Date: Micropile No: Shaft Type/Size: Helix Configuration: Project Type: Grout Column Diameter: (mm) (New Construction/Remedial Repair) Sleeve/Unsleeved (circle) Termination/Bracket: Sleeve Depth: (m) Micropile Installation Depth Torque Grout Flow Depth Torque Grout Flow (m) (Nm) (volume/shaft length) (m) (Nm) (volume/shaft length)
95 HELICAL PULLDOWN Micropile - Installation Procedure For new build applications the pile can be terminated with a new construction cap piece, standard adaptor or bespoke fitting to suit the application
96 HELICAL PULLDOWN Micropile - Installation Procedure For underpinning applications the pile is installed at an angle of 3-5 to vertical and terminated 254mm above the base of the existing foundation. The pile is attached to the structure with a variety of support brackets or a bespoke connection. Grout is left to cure for a minimum of 4 days prior to fully loading the pile

98 BASIC SOIL MECHANICS
99 Effective Stresses Terzaghi s law of effective stress u (or ') is"effectivestress"in the soil, is the "total" or applied stress, and u is the pore water pressure EFFECTIVE STRESSES GOVERN SOIL BEHAVIOR
100 Soil Shear Strength Can represent in terms of total or effective COHESION Applied Stress stresses; Angle of Shearing Resistance s c tan FRICTION In terms of total stresses (ignoring u) s c ( u) tan In terms of effective stresses Effective Stress Allowing for pore water pressure
101 Shear Strength of Clays Short-term (undrained) strength Total Stresses If saturated, =0 (in terms of total stresses) s c strength is independent of total confining stress, (overburden) If unsaturated, >0, s c tan but often small and can be conservatively neglected Long-term (drained) strength Effective Stresses Soil will have some c and just like any other soil Friction component generally veers towards zero Therefore strength of Clay soils is governed by COHESION s c ( u) tan Must predict pore water pressures
102 Shear Strength of Sands Sands are generally considered freely draining short-term (undrained) condition never occurs Strength determined using effective stresses s c ( u) tan If have dirty sands, may need to treat as if it were a clay A small amount of fines in an otherwise sandy/gravelly soil can make it behave more like a clay than a granular material Cohesion component veers towards zero Therefore strength of Granular Soil is governed by FRICTION (angle of shearing resistance drives shear strength)
103 Determination of Soil Strength Parameters Laboratory Testing Unconfined compression tests (cohesive soils) Triaxial tests Direct shear tests In-situ (in-place) Testing Standard penetration test (SPT) Cone penetration test (CPT) Pocket Penetrometer Hand Shear Vane Correlation with index properties Least reliable, but cheapest Often useful for preliminary design

105 Relative Density of Granular (Sand & Gravel) Soil vs. N-Values Relative Density N-Values Friction Angle Very Loose 0 to 4 <28 Loose 4 to 9 28 to 30 Medium Dense 10 to to 35.5 Dense 30 to to 41 Very Dense 50 to to 50 Extremely Dense >80?

111 EMPIRICAL VALUES FOR INTERNAL FRICTION = 0.28*N EXAMPLES: N = 6, 29 N = 15, = 31 N = 27, = 35 N = Blow Count from SPT Test (Standard Penetration Test) Above Based on Bowles 1st Edition Foundation Analysis and Design Similar Equation by Teng and Assoc: = N/
112 Bearing Capacity Factor (N q ) Curve N q vs. Angle of Internal Friction Cohesionless Soils Adapted from G. G. Meyerhoff Factors for Driven Piles Equation: Nq=0.5(12* ) /54
113 BEARING CAPACITY EQUATION FOR SATURATED CLAY Q ULT = A H CN C = A H 9C where: A H = Projected Helix Area C = Cohesion N C = Bearing Capacity Factor for Cohesive Component of Soil = 9
114 EMPIRICAL VALUES FOR COHESION C (ksf/kg/cm 2 ) = N/8 EXAMPLES: N = 8, C = 1 ksf (0.488 kg/cm 2 ) N = 10, C = 1.25 ksf (0.610 kg/cm 2 ) N = 3, C = 0.38 ksf (0.178 kg/cm 2 ) N = Blow Count Value from SPT Test
115 FACTOR OF SAFETY Select an Appropriate Factor of Safety for pile design, typically for British Standard Designs 2.5 to 3.0 in the UK In general, Chance Civil Construction recommends a Minimum F.o.S of 2 For NHBC sites; If a British Standard design approach is adopted then a minimum overall factor of safety of 3.0 on permanent loads shall be applied. If a Eurocode design approach is adopted, the appropriate partial factors for the geotechnical and structural elements of the design shall be applied.
