This guideline provides practical guidance for the interpretation of nondestructive testing (NDT) of the integrity of augered cast-in-place (ACIP) and drilled displacement (DD) piles. Every NDT method has specific associated capabilities and limitations, and ACIP and DD piles have unique properties that must be considered when using a specific NDT method for a project. For successful interpretation, it is essential that the test results not be utilized alone, but in conjunction with all the available information on pile installation, as well as consideration of the subsurface conditions, past experiences and sound engineering judgment. This guideline supplements DFI’s two primary publications on ACIP piles: Augered Cast-in-Place Pile Manual (2003) and the Inspector’s Guide for Augered Cast-in-Place Piles (2010). This guideline was developed to provide 1) more detailed explanations of the various test methods available, 2) guidance on interpretation of the results, and 3) some typical examples of the data and interpretation.

This guidance document is intended to assist geotechnical engineers, pile designers, and contractors in analysis, design, and testing of piles and drilled shafts for lateral loads. Although analysis of lateral response of piles and shafts is routinely performed, there is no single guidance document and/or standard for design and testing. Several different analytical methods are available for the analysis and the resulting design can result in significantly different responses which can create confusion. Over the years, analysis of response of piles due to lateral loads evolved from closed-form solutions to py methods to strain wedge to finite element/finite difference modeling. This is especially true for analyzing and designing piles in potentially liquefiable soils with lateral spread issues under seismic conditions. This document discusses the background of different analytical and testing procedures and presents the recommended methods for analysis, design and testing of piles for lateral loads.

This publication is a guide to the inspection of Augered Cast-In-Place Piles (ACIP) and a companion document to the DFI Augered Cast-In-Place Piles Manual. The manual, updated from the original version published in 1994, summarizes the requirements expected of all parties concerned in the successful installation of these piles and now includes information on Automated Monitoring Equipment (AME) and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT). Step by step installation procedures, construction equipment and inspection tools are discussed along with the common potential problems. Sample inspection forms are also provided. The manual provides guidelines for observing and documenting the installation of ACIP piles constructed using a hollow stem continuous flight auger and may also serve as a guide for the training of inspection personnel. This document is not intended to cover all project related issues; however, the intent is to outline the expectations for personnel involved in ACIP Pile installation and monitoring. These expectations along with a thorough subsurface exploration program, a quality specification, an experienced contractor and knowledgeable inspector can lead to a successful ACIP Pile project.

This guide, a result of the work of the Tiebacks and Soil Nailing Committee of the Deep Foundations Institute (DFI) with review by the Anchored Earth Retention Committee of the ADSC: The International Association of Foundation Drilling and the Technical Activities Committee of DFI, is intended for general use primarily in the private market, since the public sector is typically served by the Federal Highway Administration design and construction guidelines. The model spec encompasses all designs, materials, products, accessories, installation techniques and testing procedures required for the installation of soil nail excavation support or earth retention systems. Its purpose is to assist in the development of project specifications for soil nail earth excavation support and earth retention systems and is based on generally accepted industry standards but may require modification by the specification writer to accommodate unusual or unforeseen site and subsurface conditions and the particular circumstances of the project. In this regard, the Committee hopes that the Guide will be of use where other design and construction guidelines do not exist or in the development of building code provisions for Soil Nailing in the various Building Codes nationwide. Now available!

This guide to Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and Evaluation of Drilled Shafts porvides a general introduction to the various current NDT testing methods, their fundamental operating principles, prime applications, advantages and limitations. It is intended for use by owners, design engineers, inspectors and contractors involved with drilled shaft construction. Students of foundation engineering will also find it a useful primer for the business. Conventional and new load testing methods are also described in the manual although they are not usually considered "non-destructive" tests. They were included since many load tests are performed on production drilled shafts in an effort to complete the comprehensive coverage of evaluation of drilled shafts in this manual. The six main sections are: Introduction; Application of Non-Destructive Testing to Drilled Shafts; Inspection and Observation Methods; Integrity Testing Methods; Load Testing Methods; and Corroboration and Remediation Options

This update to the original model specification compiled in 1990 addresses current trends in ACIP Pile construction and quality control. The History and Guideline Specification and Commentary format have been updated to address the use of increased ACIP pile diameters and lengths to sustain significantly higher load carrying capacities, and the challenges associated with the use of grout and reinforcement necessary to sustain such higher loading. The order of the Guideline Specification has been arranged to more closely match the format typically utilized in project specifications. Appendices have been added to provide commentary on two quality control techniques: Automated Monitoring Equipment (AME) and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT). Lastly, an Appendix giving a glossary of frequently used ACIP pile terms and their associated definitions has been added.

This book is a narrative autobiography, written in novel form, with fictitious names. All the events described are true but they have been arranged geographically instead of chronologically. While most of the events actually occurred with the writer being present, a few have been based on first-hand descriptions told to the writer a few days later. The philosophical discussions interspersed through the several chapters have been worded as a fictitious dialogue so as to enable the discussions in the form of questioning rather than dogmatic answers. Hopefully the reader will find answers relevant to his own live and own career.

The volume covers the discussion sessions that followed each of the 32 technical sessions of the Third International Conference on Grouting & Ground Treatment held on February 10-12, 2003. It was produced by transcribing audio tapes of each technical session, or when available, from written questions and answers. Individuals were allowed to edit their responses to provide greater clarity and thoroughness. IN some instances the written discussions elicited follow-up questions, with the discussions carrying on for several months. Also included in the volume is a peer-reviewed paper presented by Friedrich-Karl Ewert at the conference which was not included in the original conference proceedings.

Describes the installation of augered cast-in-place piles, including the various pieces of equipment and materials used in construction. Contains animation of drilling though a layered subsurface, grouting of the pile and installation of reinforcing steel. This video is a companion to the Augered Cast-In-Place Piles Manual and is intended for contractors, owners, design engineering firms and geotechnical consultants.

Augments the Drilled Shaft Inspector's Manual by joint committees of DFI and ADSC. The manual is included. Primarily targeted to geotechnical consulting firms and their inspectors, the presentation can help contractors' drilling personnel better understand the role of the drilled shaft inspector on the jobsite.

A basic introduction to handling, installing and testing load bearing piles: timber, H-beam, pipe, shell, Monotube and pre-cast concrete. Details of setting up and conducting both reaction-beam and dead-load piles tests are covered. The program provides insight into problems confronted and the methods used in mobilizing a major pile testing program.
