Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Deep foundations were required for the support of six large fuel oil storage tanks in Queens, New York. A system of 150-ton-capacity composite piles with precast enlarged bases (TPT piles) was selected for the job. An extensive load test program, which included testing of a dogleg pile, was conducted to establish the criteria for pile installation. A variety of installation procedures was required to overcome difficulties in penetrating cumbersome overburden materials to reach the bearing stratum. Hydrostatic loading of the completed tanks showed settlements of less than 0.25 in. (Author)
