Title: FIELD MEASUREMENT OF SWEPT CAST-IN-PLACE PILES
Accession Number: 00372281
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The age-old dilemma of not knowing the condition or direction of a cast-in-place pile that undergoes sweep during driving may be on the verge of being solved. By using a simple method of an inverted flashlight on a measuring tape, the sweep may be plotted within reasonable limits. If one knows and can plot the slope of the top portion (i.e., the depth where full circumferential light cease), the depth where no light can be seen from the top, and, finally, the overall depth of the pile, an acceptable prediction of final tip displacement can be made. This method, called the integrity OK (INTOK) method, eliminates the use of expensive and time-consuming equipment and the extra labor previously required to determine the slope and direction of the unseen portion of a driven cast-in-place pile.
