Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth and presentations at the Pan-Am Conference. Click here to read our paper on Highly loaded helical piles in compression and tension applications: A case study of two projects.
Paper Abstract:
Helical piles are traditionally considered for use in applications as tension anchors for retaining wa
ll tiebacks or shoring, and as compression piles in light to medium load situations including temporary, residential and single storey commercial structures. Helical piles are very capable of fulfilling requirements in highly loaded applications, and are commonly the most efficient option at doing so. Two different instances of high load applications in both compression and tension where helical piles fulfilled all requirements and proved to be the most efficient solution are presented.
