H-Pile set in drilled shaft (not driven)
H-Pile set in drilled shaft (not driven)
(OP)
I'm looking for some guidance or information on the design and installation of steel H-piles set (not driven, but placed) in a drilled shaft that is then filled with concrete.
Any literature or specifications out there? Any experiences?
Thanks!

Of course accuracy of setting is the crucial point and this will be helped if there is a bored pile casing at the upper level.
But some more info would help. Is this a basement construction? Is there a length of "empty bore" after completion of the bored pile and H-Section?

Also, this type was used in Rhode Island for soldier piles with pre-cast concrete lagging along the Amtrak corridor. My understanding is that the drilled shafts were augered with a special rig that injects the concrete on the way up; then the H-pile is pushed into place while the concrete is fresh.
