6 Method of Jack-in Piling System CSC HOLDINGS LIMITED

7 Method of Jack-in Piling System A modern technique by which pre-formed piles (e.g. Prestressed Spun Piles, Precast RC Piles, H-Piles, Steel Pipe Piles) are hydraulically jacked into the ground as displacement piles

8 Installation Process CSC HOLDINGS LIMITED

9 Installation Process Pile is jacked into the ground with a jack-in force adjusted in steps up to between 1.8 times times working load Jacking will continue until practical refusal where jack-in force is released and reapplied twice Downward movement of the pile between the two cycles is then measured and checked against the set criteria

32 JACK-IN PILING DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

33 Jack-in Pile Design Structural Considerations Qa =.25 (fcu fpe) * Ac Qa : Allowable structural axial capacity fcu : Compressive strength of concrete at 28 days fpe : Effective prestress in concrete Ac : Cross-sectional area of concrete Geotechnical Considerations Ultimate geotechnical capacity is determined by : Static formula on the basis of soil test Termination criteria using resistance measured during pile installation Verify performance of piles designed by above methods using static load test For quality control purpose, PDA and PIT are also carried out

34 Design Parameters In Accordance with CP4:23 Ultimate geotechnical axial capacity Qu = fs x As + qb x Ab Shaft Resistance : fs = Ks.N; Ks = 2 to 5 ; (limiting to 2kPa) Base Resistance: qb= Kb.4.N; Kb = 6 to 9 ; (limiting to 18,kPa for soil) For rock, qb = lesser of strength of pile material and unconfined compressive strength of rock Factor of Safety : Shaft Resistance = 2.5 Base Resistance = 2.5 Ks and Kb are related to the characteristics of soil & method of installation Higher value of Ks and Kb may be adopted if substantiated by sufficient instrumented load test in similar soil condition

35 Set / Termination Criteria Wide variations in termination ( set ) criteria for jacked piles Min jacked force = K x design working load (K varies between 1.8 to 2.5) Holding time = 3~6 seconds Max allowable settlement of 2mm for 2 or more consecutive cycles In Singapore context, termination criteria using min jacked force of 2 x WL and set criteria of 2mm between two jack cycles is commonly adopted Final acceptance criteria for the installed piles need to be verified by static pile load test

52 Preload Effect 23 Rankine Lecture (Prof M.F. Randolph) Bored Pile No residual pressure at pile base during installation End-bearing could only be mobilized at relatively large displacement Jack-In Pile Significant residual pressure at pile base during installation (higher than driven pile) Higher end bearing could be mobilized at small displacement Bored pile Jack-in pile

53 Conclusions (1) Instrumented load tests have verified that : Qu of pile > Calculated Qu adopted from driven pile Qu of pile > JIF Piles installed by JIF of 1.5~2.25 x WL have adequate Qu & settlement within allowable criteria. Qu of Jack-in pile is a function of JIF and increases as JIF increases. All 3 test piles showed similar load-settlement behaviour up to 2xWL. Higher JIF could result in higher Qu but the use of JIF 1.5xWL is enough to ensure satisfactory pile performance up to 2xWL.

54 Conclusions (2) JIF > 2xWL could be better but may not be necessarily needed. An appropriate JIF shall be established with the use of static load test. Subsequently all piles could be installed using this termination criteria. Jack-in pile installation results in a preloaded pile toe condition, hence better displacement performance. More future research would help to provide accurate design in the use of jack-in pile.
