Concrete can deteriorate for a variety of reasons, and concrete damage is often the result of a combination of factors. The following summary discusses potential causes of concrete deterioration and the factors that influence them. ... reaction at the cathode is called a reduction reaction. A common
To calculate the reduction in surfaces of pile shaft and pile tip, we have introduced a coefficient called Diameter Reduction !red, which is the ratio of the pile diameter in rock or IGM layer (without casing), to the diameter in the rest of pile body (with casing). The maximum value for this parameter is 0.99=1. Piles Capacity Reference Manual 12
[PDF]Pile foundation spacing and skin friction in a pile group decides the design of pile foundation, its efficiency and capacity in any construction. The main purpose of a pile foundation is to let the transfer of load through weak soil strata (soil strata with poor bearing capacity). The pile ...
Settlement reducing piles are used to reduce differential settlement of piles in basement slab and shaft slab construction. Different aspects of settlement reducing piles in piled shafts and basements are discussed in the following sections.

[PDF]The most common residential foundation materials are concrete masonry (i.e., concrete block) and cast-in-place concrete. Preservative-treated wood, precast concrete, and other ... When necessary, piles are used to transmit the load to a deeper soil stratum with a higher bearing capacity, to prevent ... The 0.6 reduction factor on D is intended ...
However, this higher initial cost may be partially offset by a reduction in the concrete cover and the elimination of corrosion inhibiting admixtures typically used for steel reinforced concrete construction in extremely aggressive environments. A longer service life of the concrete component may also be expected if FRP reinforcing is used by ...
[PDF]conditions. The concrete piles could also be cast in numerous structural forms (Tomlinson, 1994). Concrete is readily available at low cost and is more suitable in corrosive environments. Concrete piles may be classified into three major categories: cast-in-place concrete piles, composite concrete piles, and precast concrete piles.

Tests show that wood and concrete piles make less noise than steel piles, such as H-beams, pipe, or sheet piles. This is due mainly to the lack of a wood cushion material. If steel piles were driven with a wood cushion the noise level would be greatly reduced.
Concrete Piles: Friction Piles Timber Piles: Friction Piles . Concrete piles may be conventional precast or precast, prestressed members. Occasionally plans may require that the tip of piles be fitted with pile shoes prior to driving. Pile shoes are considered reinforcement for the pile tip and are intended to try and prevent damage to the pile ...

[PDF]precast concrete piles, a review of published literature on prestressed concrete piles was completed and the following information was gathered: • measured curvature capacity during large-scale testing of precast, prestressed concrete piles that were as-sumed to have sufficient confinement reinforcement in the plastic hinge region
[PDF]The concrete piles used a 12-inch wood pile cap which has previously been shown to have sound reduction capabilities up to 24 dB (Laughlin, 2006). Ambient sound levels measured 10 meters from the test piles in 21 feet of water ranged between 136 dBrms to 137 dBrms with construction equipment running. The bubble curtain achieved the
