Definitions

  • Concrete piles are typically used for deep piling foundations, which are used when the upper soil layers are not suitable for accommodating a shallow foundation Piles are often preferred over shallow foundations when the bearing capacity of the ground is weak in relation to the construction, which the foundation should support.
  • a piling foundation the load from the construction may be transferred from the weak upper layers of the soil to stronger layers, which are typically found deeper in the ground.
  • the piles are driven into the ground by using a pile driver or hammer or the like.
  • the piles penetrate the soft upper soil layers and embed in the lower, more rigid lower soil layers.
  • the piles are intended for embedment deep into the ground for providing a stable foundation for various structures such as buildings, bridges and similar constructions.
  • the concrete piles are typically reinforced concrete piles, which are cast in standardized lengths For reaching further into the ground than the standardized lengths the piles are fixated together end to end for achieving a total length greater than the standardized lengths.
  • a coupling device is used for fixating the two opposing ends of the concrete piles. The coupling device is typically integrated into the end of the concrete pile when the concrete pile is being cast.
  • Such a pile foundation as described above may e.g. be used in soil layers at or near bodies of water such as near lakes or near the ocean. It is thus contemplated that the piles, which are embedded into the ground, may be subjected to a large amount of water. The water may penetrate the pile, in particular at locations where the piles have been joined. Such water penetrating the joints between the piles may cause rust and may eventually cause the pile to break, which will reduce the stability of the overlying construction. The penetrating water may also freeze at a later time when subjected to lower temperatures and cause damage to the pile. There is consequently a need for technologies for avoiding water penetration into the joints between two opposing piles.
  • the two opposing piles are typically coupled by applying a coupling device having a flat metal plate at the end of the opposing piles.
  • the opposing coupling devices typically comprise reciprocal coupling elements, which may interact to provide a rigid fixation between the two opposing piles.
  • the fixation must be rigid enough for sustaining the very large forces applied to the coupling device during piling, i.e the fixation must endure repeated hammering without breaking.
  • a coupling device may be found in the European patent application EP 1 127 195 , in which a coupling device comprises a pair of loopholes which are fixated to a pair of opposing loopholes of an opposing coupling device by a pin
  • a coupling device having a male coupling element comprising a protruding cylinder snap-fit interlocks with an opposing coupling device having a female coupling element having a receiving cavity
  • the opposing male and female coupling elements are joined and locked in position by a locking pin.
  • EP 1582633 A1 discloses a method according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the coupling device should comprise coupling elements of substantially only round shape.
  • the concrete piles should be prefabricated concrete piles such as reinforced concrete piles which are provided in lengths between approx. 4 m and approx. 20 m.
  • the piles are driven into the ground by a pile driver comprising a hammer or the like.
  • An example of a suitable pile driver may be found in the European patent applications 0 392 311 and 0 984 105 .
  • the pile driver forces the pile into the ground by the use of a repeated hammering action.
  • a further pile may be positioned on top of the first pile, thereby enabling the total pile length to extend deeper into the ground. Often more than two piles must be joined together for reaching to a suitable depth into the ground.
  • the piles must be driven more than 50 m into the ground, such as 80 m into the ground, and since a single pile typically cannot be longer than about 20 m, several piles must be connected and driven into the ground Piles longer than 20 m would require unsuitably large pile drivers and would additionally cause logistic problems, since they would require special carriers for being transported to the installation site.
  • a coupling device is provided at each end of the opposing pile.
  • the coupling device is cast into the pile already during manufacture of the pile itself.
  • the piles are factory-cast and subsequently delivered to the installation site
  • the coupling device comprises the flat base plate for defining a substantially flat and stable front surface being the contact area between the two opposing piles. In this way the weight resting on the pile will be distributed over the complete surface of the base plate.
  • the reinforcement bar extending from the rear surface of the base plate and the support flange prevent any substantial movement of the base plate, both during and after installation.
  • the periphery of the base plate should be substantially concurrent with the end periphery of the pile for allowing a stable and secure foundation and proper weight distribution.
  • the opposing base plates should be aligned to transfer the weight of the overlying structures downwardly. Any misalignment may increase the risk of installation failure or a later foundation failure, which may in the worst case cause the overlying structure to collapse.
  • the female coupling element comprises a receptor cavity, which is adapted to receive the male coupling element comprising a cylindrical protrusion.
  • the female coupling element should accommodate the male coupling element of the opposing coupling device.
  • the upper pile is positioned on top of the lower pile so that the male coupling element of one of the coupling devices is accommodated inside the cavity of the female coupling element of the other coupling device, or vice versa.
  • the coupling elements constitutes round cylinders, which are simple to manufacture compared to manufacturing square-shaped structures as in the prior art technology described above
  • the female and male coupling elements should be positioned on the flat base plate in a symmetrical pattern for allowing the opposing base plates to be juxtaposed without any overlapping or misalignment.
  • the coupling elements should be placed a certain distance from the periphery of the base plate and should consequently not have any contact with the periphery of the base plate.
  • the support flange extends from the periphery of the base plate rearwards, encapsulating the end part of the pile similar to a sleeve.
  • the female coupling element constitutes a cavity into the front surface of the base plate. The cavity is as well cast into the pile.
  • the cavity constitutes a rounded cylinder having a length approximately corresponding to the extension of the support flange.
  • the aperture in the support flange and the passage defined by the first hole and the second hole of the female coupling element should be centrally located in registration at about half the distance between the rear surface of the base plate and the end of the support flange and preferably perpendicular to the direction of the pile.
  • the male coupling element should have an outer shape fitting into the receptor cavity of the female coupling element. By fitting is meant that substantially no sideward movement should be possible when the female coupling element and the male coupling element are joined and a well-defined position is achieved.
  • the male coupling element comprises a cylindrical duct at a distance from the front surface of the flat base plate corresponding to the distance between the front surface of the flat base plate and the first and second holes of the female coupling element.
  • the coupling devices are juxtaposed and the male coupling element is accommodated inside the receptor cavity of the female coupling element, the duct of the male coupling element is positioned in registration with the aperture and the first and second holes. In this way, the coupling devices are assembled.
  • a tube is attached fluid-tight between the aperture and the first hole and a hollow plug is attached fluid-tight to the second hole, respectively.
  • the tube and a hollow plug should be made of flexible material, providing a smooth and fluid-tight connection between the aperture and the hollow plug. Consequently, water from the outside cannot penetrate the end part of the pile and concrete cannot penetrate the receptor cavity of the female coupling element. Water penetrating the end part of the pile may cause corrosion as well as frost damages if the penetrating water freezes. Concrete entering the receptor cavity will render the coupling element useless, since the female coupling element will not be able to accommodate the male coupling element.
  • the channel resulting from assembling the coupling devices is typically filled with grease such as consistent grease or the like.
  • the grease will simplify the insertion of the locking pin as well as prevent any water from entering the coupling device through the aperture.
  • the locking pin should fit inside the channel for preventing the assembled opposing coupling devices from disassembling.
  • One locking pin should be inserted in each male-female assembled pair of coupling elements. All parts of the coupling device, except the tube and the hollow plug, should be made of rigid material capable of withstanding the forces subjected to the pile from the overlying structures.
  • the locking pin is preferably hammered into the aperture so that it is suitably fixated by the friction inside the channel.
  • the outwardly end of the locking pin preferably forms an even surface with the support flange for avoiding any damage on the contact pin due to friction with the ground when the pile is being driven into the ground.
  • the base plate, reinforcement bar, support flange, female coupling element and male coupling element are made of iron or an iron alloy such as steel.
  • the coupling device except the tubular and hollow bodies is preferably made of iron or an iron alley such as steel due to the great rigidity needed for supporting the foundation.
  • the flexible material of the tube and the hollow plug constitutes a polymeric material such as plastic.
  • the tube and the hollow plug are preferably made of a plastic material, since plastic materials are durable and flexible for allowing a fluid-tight connection.
  • the locking pin and the hollow plug comprise locking elements for snap-fit interlocking with each other.
  • the hollow plug may comprise locking elements so that when the locking pin is inserted in the channel and the tip of the locking pin enters the hollow plug, the hollow plug snaps around the tip for preventing the locking pin from leaving the channel. In this way it may be ensured that the locking pin does not fall out of the channel, e.g during hammering.
  • the tube and the hollow plug extend partially into the receptor cavity for snap-fit interlocking with the duct of the opposing coupling device
  • the tube and the hollow plug may extend partially into the receptor cavity at the first and second hole, respectively, for snap-fitting and locking with the male coupling element of the opposing coupling device.
  • the base plate defines an area of about 30 x 30 cm and the pile has a length of about 4-20 m.
  • the typical size of a coupling device used for construction purposes is about 30 cm x 30 cm, i e a square shape.
  • the typical length of a pile is about 4 to 20 m. Longer piles are not feasible due to limitations in the height of the pile driver and due to logistic limitations.
  • each of the opposing coupling elements comprises the female coupling element, the tube, the hollow plug, the locking pin and the male coupling element.
  • the cylindrical duct of the male coupling device is extending perpendicular to the passage of the female coupling device or, alternatively, the cylindrical duct of the male coupling device is extending in parallel to the passage of the female coupling device.
  • a square coupling device is used having a square base plate. Consequently, the support flange comprises four side surfaces.
  • the duct of the male coupling element is perpendicular to the channel of the female coupling element of the same coupling device so that the opposing coupling device should be turned 90 degrees for being juxtaposed the first coupling device.
  • the locking pins of the opposing coupling device are perpendicular to the locking pins of the first coupling device.
  • the coupling devices are arranged so that all contact pins have the same orientation. In this way, only one orientation is possible.
  • each of the coupling devices comprises a plurality of female coupling elements and a plurality of male coupling elements, such as two female coupling elements and two male coupling elements for each coupling device.
  • the coupling device comprises two coupling elements of the first type and two corresponding coupling elements of the second type.
  • the first and male coupling elements should be distributed on the base plate in a symmetrical pattern, e g have the same distance from the central point of the coupling device to the respective peripheries of the base plates
  • the two respective male and female coupling elements are located in a crossover pattern, i e. in opposite corners of the base plate in relation to each other.
  • the male coupling element constitutes a removable part, which may be inserted into the reception cavity of the female coupling device
  • the coupling device may be manufactured with only female coupling elements, and some, i.e. half, of the female coupling elements may be transformed to male coupling elements by using a removable male coupling device part
  • Fig 1A shows a pile system 10 comprising a pair of opposing upper and lower piles 12, 12', each having a respective upper and lower coupling device 14, 14'.
  • the coupling devices 14, 14' are of a first type configuration

  • the coupling devices 14, 14' each comprises a substantially flat base plate 20 and a support flange 22 extending inwardly and constituting a sleeve covering the end part of the pile 12, 12'.
  • the coupling devices 14, 14' further comprise a pair of female coupling elements 24 located in a crossover configuration at opposite corners on the plate 20 as well as corresponding male coupling elements 26 located at the other opposite corners on the plate 20.
  • the female coupling elements constitute tube-shaped receptor cavities 18 In the front surface 16.
  • the male coupling elements constitute tubular protrusions in the front surface 16, which in shape and length fit inside the receptor cavities 18 of the female coupling element 24.
  • the male and female coupling elements 24, 26 are positioned symmetrically on the base plate 20 having equal distance from each of the coupling elements 24, 26 to the centre of the front surface 16.
  • the upper coupling device 14 is positioned opposite the lower coupling device 14' so that the female coupling elements 24 of the upper coupling device 14 are positioned opposite the male coupling elements of the lower coupling device 14'. Consequently, the male coupling elements of the upper coupling device 14 should be positioned opposite the female coupling elements 26 of the lower coupling device 14', and vice versa.
  • the coupling devices 24, 26 should be positioned on the front surface 16 so that the front surfaces and the periphery of the front surfaces 16 may concur when the coupling devices 14, 14' are juxtaposed.
  • the above-mentioned position may be referred to as the pre-assembly position of the piling system 10. It should be noted that in the present type configuration a further pre-assembly position is achieved by rotating the upper pile 12 around its axis by 180 degrees. When any of the pre-assembly positions have been achieved, the coupling devices 14, 14' may be juxtaposed.
  • the female and male coupling elements 24, 26 should have a tubular shape.

  • the present type configuration enables one pre-assembly position.
  • Fig. 1C shows a pile system 10" being similar to the pile system 10 of Fig. 1A , however, having a third type configuration.

  • the lower coupling device 14 V has corresponding female coupling elements 24 for accommodating the male coupling elements 26 of the upper coupling device 14 IV
  • the present type configuration has the drawback of needing two fundamentally different coupling devices 14 IV , 14 V , one having only female coupling elements 24 and one having only male coupling elements 26. Thereby the risk of an accidental incorrect pre-assembly position increases, e.g. the risk of occasionally having two opposite coupling devices of the same kind.
