Abstract:

The objective is to document procedures used abroad in order to increase U.S. transportation engineers' confidence in the augered pile system when properly applied to highway construction. Two construction systems for augered piles used extensively in Europe are described: the continuous-flight auger system and the screw-pile system. Real-time acquisition of critical construction data by electronic sensing devices ensures the integrity of such systems; one real-time data-acquisition system is examined. Simple design rules for estimating axial capacity are documented, and some innovative design and construction methods are evaluated.
