Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for providing concrete foundation piles in the ground, whereby a tube provided with a helical blade on its periphery is screwed into the ground to the desired depth, after which, while the tube is being withdrawn, concrete is introduced in the hole formed by means of the tube through the interior of the tube, via a discharge opening located near the bottom side of said tube.
  • Such a method can be derived from the European patent 0010037. This method makes use of a tube whose bottom end has a larger diameter than the remaining part of the tube. In said part having a larger diameter there is provided a hydraulically operated adjusting mechanism for opening and closing a valve closing the bottom side of the tube.
  • a first disadvantage is constituted by the fact that the shape of the bottom end of the tube is less suitable for promoting the penetration of the tube into the ground. Besides that it will be possible for the earth moved sideways by the bottom end of the tube to move back into the hole formed by the bottom end of the tube, as a result of which no effective compaction of the earth is achieved, and possible narrowings may be formed in the freshly formed pile shaft.
  • a similar method can be derived from FR-A-438,488. From US-A-­ 3,875,751 a method can be derived whereby a column of earth is loosened by means of a short helical blade secured on the end of a thin shaft, after which concrete is injected into the hole. Also in this case no essential compaction of the earth around the foundation pile will be effected.
  • the object of the invention is to meet the disadvantages of the known method and device respectively.
  • this objective can be accomplished in that use is made of a tube having a constant diameter along at least substantially its entire length, whose bottom end, along which the end of the helical blade extends, is conical, whereby, when the tube is being withdrawn from the ground, concrete is supplied under pressure and pressed out of the tube via the discharge opening, a closing means of said discharge opening being opened under the influence of the pressure exerted by the concrete.
  • the tube When using the method according to the invention the tube can be screwed into the ground while effectively compacting the earth surrounding the tube, whilst the concrete can be pressed into the hole formed by the tube while maintaining an effective pressure when the tube is being withdrawn in a non- rotating manner.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment of a hollow earth drill for drilling holes in the ground with a view to making concrete foundation piles in the ground, with a tube provided with a helical blade on its periphery can thereby be obtained if the tube has a constant diameter along at least substantially its entire length, whilst the bottom end of the tube, along which the end of the helical blade extends, is conical and is provided with a discharge opening, which can be closed by means of a valve pivotally connected with the tube.
  • Fig 1 For drilling holes in the ground with a view to making concrete foundation piles in the ground use is made of the tube 1 illustrated in Fig 1, which tube may have any desired length and may be built up of several sections to be coupled with each other.
  • the preferably thick-­walled tube 1 has a constant diameter along at least substantially its entire length, whilst in the interior of the tube 1 there is provided a central passage 2 extending along the entire length of the tube.
  • a helical blade 3 which extends along the entire length of the tube and also along the conical bottom end 4 of the tube, therefore.
  • said conical end 4 there is provided an opening 5 in the wall of the tube, which opening can be closed by means of a valve 6.
  • said valve 6 is coupled to the tube 1 by means of a pivot pin 7 extending upwards and being located near one side of the valve 6. The valve 6 can thereby pivot freely about the pivot pin 7 between the position illustrated in Fig 2, in which the valve 6 closes the opening 5, and an open position illustrated in Fig 3.
  • the lower part 8 of the valve 6 thereby forms the point of the tube 1 in the closed position, so that in the open position of the valve the opening 5 not only extends into the side of the conical end 4, but also along along the bottom end of the tube, so that the tube is open at its bottom side then.
  • Forming the concrete foundation pile in the ground can be done in the desired manner by measuring the torque exerted on the tube 1 when the tube is being screwed into the ground, and/or by controlling the pressure at which the concrete is being pressed into the borehole when the tube 1 is being withdrawn, dependent on and related to the depth at which the outlet opening at the bottom end of the tube is located. These parameters can also be registered simultaneously during operation.
  • a thick-walled tube 1 instead of a thick-walled tube 1 also a double-walled tube may be used.
  • the external diameter of the helical block may vary between e.g. 320 - 620 mm and the external diameter of the tube 1 may vary between e.g. 220 - 420 mm.
  • the diameter of the passage 2 is 125 mm thereby.
