Abstract
AbstractWith increased urbanization, deep foundation (bridges, signage, walls, etc.) selection is moving toward the minimization of disturbance and installation time, as well as addressing quality control and assurance issues. Unfortunately, many types of deep foundations involve noise and vibration during installation (e.g., driven piles) or integrity and reduced resistance issues (e.g., drilled shafts, both conventional and post grouted tip, continuous flight auger piles). This paper presents a new foundation type, a jetted and grouted precast pile, which uses the advantages of several proven deep foundation installation techniques. The installation of the new pile is comprised of three distinct phases: (1) pressurized water-jetting of a precast pile into the ground; (2) side grouting of the pile; and (3) tip grouting. The pile has two separate side grouting zones, each with its own grout delivery system. Each grout zone is covered with a semirigid membrane, which results in radial expansion of the soil...
