Deviated Piles
Deviated Piles
(OP)
Dear All,
During the pile driving, some of piles might be installed out-of-plumbness or out-of-batterness given in specifications, e.g., 1/50.
Could somebody give me some idea to evaluate the as-built pile capacity on deviated piles, e.g., 1/40 or less to its plumbness or batterness?

RE: Deviated Piles
Generally 1/50 might be acceptable for normal piling work. In my case, 1/100 has been adopted for stringent structures.
Any how, could you recommend me how do i evaluate the deviated piles, e.g., pile capacity and pile stress itself for the case of out-of-plumbness?

RE: Deviated Piles
Still do i wait the response what is the matter if the plumbness is out of specification for vertical piles and if the batter is out of specification for raked piles.
Is there any reference on this matter?
RE: Deviated Piles
You have received your answer. Talk to the person that wrote the specification in the first place and have them determine what is needed.
