Helical piles

[Padula]

I have several projects that will require helical piles. I'm am looking for a design forum or formula that will give me the basics of helical pile design.

Thank you

Padula,

These are usually designed by the contractors PE, it probably worthwhile checking this out before you spend time designing them.

The connection to the footing is up to the structural engineer though.

Padula,

Suggest you let a local geotech and/or helical pier contractor advise you on foundation type and constructability.
