Description / Abstract:
This Practice complements PIP STS02465 and provides
assistance to the engineer in the preparation of contract documents
for furnishing and installing ACIP piles.
This Practice is modeled on DFI TM-ACIP-1 (Augered
Cast-in-Place Piles Manual). For additional information, refer to
that manual and also to DFI TM-ACIP-2 (Augered Castin-
Place Piles Inspector's Guide).
This Practice does not provide guidelines for lateral
displacement or drilled displacement piles, also known as augered
cast-in-place displacement (ACIP-D) piles. DFI manuals, the Federal
Highway Administration documents and a geotechnical engineer with
experience designing ACIP-D piles should be consulted for guidance
on ACIP-D piles.
Purpose
This Practice provides guidelines for the design and
installation of augered cast-in-place (ACIP) piles.
