ACI MANUAL OF CONCRETE PRACTICE 1990. PART 4. BRIDGES, SUBSTRUCTURES, SANITARY, AND OTHER SPECIAL STRUCTURES; STRUCTURAL PROPERTIES. SUGGESTED DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURES FOR PIER FOUNDATIONS
Covers design and construction of foundation piers 2 1/2 ft (0.76 m) in diameter or larger made by excavating a hole in the soil and then filling it with concrete. Considerable attention is given to soil properties and soils exploration. The two step design procedure includes: (1) determination of overall pier size, and (2) detailed design of concrete pier element itself. Emphasis is on the former which involves interaction betweem soil and pier, with item (2) referenced to ACI 318. Construction methods described include excavation, sheeting, casing, and placement of concrete and steel. Recommended procedures for inspection and evaluation as well as criteria for acceptance are presented.
