An unbiased, comprehensive review of helical pile technology and
applications
Helical piles have risen from being merely an interesting
alternative for special cases to a frequently requested, more
widely accepted deep foundation adopted into the 2009 International
Building Code. The first alternative to manufacturer-produced
manuals, Howard Perko's "Helical Piles: A Practical Guide to Design
and Installation" answers the industry's need for an unbiased and
universally applicable text dedicated to the design and
installation of helical piles, helical piers, screw piles, and
torque anchors.
Fully compliant with ICC-Evaluation Services, Inc., "Acceptance
Criteria for Helical Foundation Systems and Devices" (AC358), this
comprehensive reference guides construction professionals to
manufactured helical pile systems and technology, providing
objective insights into the benefits of helical pile foundations
over driven or cast foundation systems, and recommending
applications where appropriate. After introducing the reader to the
basic features, terminology, history, and modern 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 underpinning systems
Foundation economics
Select proprietary systems
IBC and NYC Building codes
Covering such issues of concern as environmental sustainability,
"Helical Piles" provides contractors and engineers as well as
students in civil engineering with a practical, real-world guide to
the design and installation of helical piles.
