Helical piles have risen from being merely an interestingalternative for special cases to a frequently requested, morewidely accepted deep foundation adopted into the 2009International Building Code. The first alternative tomanufacturer-produced manuals, Howard Perko’s HelicalPiles: A Practical Guide to Design and Installationanswers the industry’s need for an unbiased anduniversally applicable text dedicated to the design andinstallation of helical piles, helical piers, screw piles, andtorque anchors.
Fully compliant with ICC-Evaluation Services, Inc.,Acceptance Criteria for Helical Foundation Systems andDevices (AC358), this comprehensive reference guidesconstruction professionals to manufactured helical pilesystems and technology, providing objective insightsinto the benefits of helical pile foundations over drivenor cast foundation systems, and recommendingapplications where appropriate. After introducing thereader to the basic features, terminology, history, andmodern applications of helical pile technology,chapters discuss:
• Installation and basic geotechnics
• Bearing and pullout capacity
• Capacity verification through torque
• Axial load testing, reliability, and sizing
• Expansive soil and lateral load resistance
• Corrosion and life expectancy
• Foundation, earth retention, and underpinningsystems
• Foundation economics
• Select proprietary systems
• IBC and NYC Building codes
Covering such issues of concern as environmental sustainability, HelicalPiles provides contractors and engineers as well as students in civilengineering with a practical, real-world guide to the design and installationof helical piles.
