SPECIFICATION FOR PRECAST REINFORCED CONCRETE SEGMENTAL PILES

This specification refers to piles formed from single or joined precast concrete elements. The following aspects are dealt with under the heading design: maximum load, axial compressive strength, ultimate bearing capacity. The various codes of practice defining these properties are listed. When considering materials, definitions are given for the following: reinforcement, pile joints, pile shoes and pile head. Other sections of the specification are as follows: workmanship (casting moulds, pile identification, pile handling); pile installation (driving equipment and procedure); repair and cutting down of pile heads; cracking in pile elements. A final section lists the types of records that should be kept (e.g. Pile number, rake, pile dimensions etc). A series of explanatory notes is appended dealing with pile design, preliminary test piles and re-assessment of pile design, proof tests on working piles, data requirements, in-situ soil testing, use of cp 110, positional and alignment tolerances, heave and trimming of piles.
