BORED PILES (ENGLISH TRANSLATION)

LES PIEUX FORES

The construction, inspection, and testing of bored piles (drilled shafts, drilled piers, caissons) as practiced by government agencies in France are discussed in detail. Some of the topics that are treated in the document are contracts, methods of making the excavation, casings and liners, rebar cages, tests for completed piles, and methods of repair of defective piles. A number of technical notes are included at the end of the work that deal with various types of tools, machines, and construction techniques. Of special interest in the publication is the attention to detail with regard to various construction techniques. The engineers, owners, and contractors in the United States who are involved in the design and construction of drilled shafts will find the book to be of great interest. Construction details turn out to be critical with regard to the success of this type of deep foundation.
