Augered Cast-in-place Piers
Augered Cast-in-place Piers
(OP)
I am looking for design references for augered cast in place piers (Caissons).
The contractor wants to drill 14” piers/caissons through sand to support a 2 story structure. No geotechnical information available.
Thanks

RE: Augered Cast-in-place Piers
I'd get some.
A good geotech will provide you with design criteria for determining the proper depth and diameter of the ACP's.
Without it you are placing yourself at risk.

Get a geotechnical exploration and report, then proceed.
