L. 467).
* 'gIhis invention relates to pilingand a method .of'driving piling.
It isl ani object of this invention to provide a .f appile *whichV can beexpanded at1one or more prea determined locations along its length.
' It is another object of this invention to provide .1.a vpiles having increased pulling resistance and load supporting capacity.
.iig-,Other objects oradvantages will be apparent or appear hereinafter.
, uThese objects and'. advantages are `accomplished inaccordancefwiththis invention by a pile in- ..:;.cludin g a pipe vor tube having a plurality offsubstantially` equal longitudinal slots symmetrically disposed in a zone about its periphery, an inner zg- 1sleeve.Y memberone end ofwhich is `secured to .said1pipe andwhich isfreeat its oppositev end, a v-positiveqstop for saidvsleeve secured within said fr.. pipe at a point away from said free end-not fur- .;fther than about one-half the length of Vthe slots.
v The inventionfwill be better understood by egreference tofthe gures of the drawing where i there -are shown presently preferred embodiments ofthe invention. Figure 1 is a partly sectional- Zed Aviewin elevation ofa slottedzone along the .;;;length oa pipe pile, Figure 2` is a vertical partially sectionalized view of an expanded pile. Fig.' 3is a viewv like Fig. l of a modication, and
Fig. 4 is an elevation of a further modification.
Referring now to Figures 1 and 2 there is shown a section of a tube or pipe pile I6 at the point Aalong its length where its expansion is desired. Any type of hollow pile can be used in this connection regardless of cross sectional shape. Cut into the pile are a plurality of slots It is presently preferred to cut these slots .so that their longitudinal axis is substantially A `parallel to the longitudinal axis of the pile, be-
cause a greater degree of deformation can be vobtained with shorter slots. e Torsional reactions .are also eliminated thereby preventing any tendency of the segments of the pile above and below the slots to rotate with respect to each other. Further it is considered preferable to have `the slots symmetrically disposed about the periphery of the pile so that uniform expansion will occur.
The amount ,of expansion ofthe pile is limited by the length of the slot and length oftravel of the free end ciz the Vthe same application by .varying-the length of `the slots, the width 0I" the slots, .l.and.,.the.cweb
vtlfiicliness |2 between the slots. .While in.,some
.instances it would bev possible to have.the slots vprefabricated in the piling, the factthattheir size will be varied by structural limitations it is preferable to slotthepile after determinirigtheir proper size and location.. .Slotting can ber carried out by any of the manymethods Aknown vtothe art; for example, Oxy-acetyleneA torches.
lStill referring to the drawings thereis shown an inner sleeve member i3 withinthe slotted zone. The sleeve is employed to prevent inward buckling of the slot webs vduring driving and to positively limit the expansion at some predetermined position, and to insureconoentricV alignment 'of the tube above and below the slots after expansion. The sleeve member is secured at one 'of its ends yto the piling. In theembodiment shown 'in Figs. l and 2 of the drawings, the lower "sleeve end" |3| and the lower end of .th'e' pile IBI are secured by a weld iii- However any other means of securing the pipe and sleeve can be employed, for-example, riveting, bolting, threadingand the like?" The opposite end of the sleeve member 1| 32 is not secured to the piling; hereinafter this end jwill sometimes be referred to as the free end 'of the sleeve.
A means for arresting movement of the inner sleeve member is secured within the pipe; A 'rigid ring |5 welded in the pipe `has been found to be a satisfactory. means for. this ypurposebutlother l means can be substituted. The .ring l5 ,forms a shoulder |5| which. when .engaged by sleeve Tend |32 willarrest' relative movement of` the sleeve I3 with respect to thev pile It and also'frelative y movement of the pile end IDI withrespect'tdthe pile head |32 when the slotted zone is ,expanded to the desired degree. When the pile is unex- ,.panded, the distance between theffree sleeve end shoulder is about one-halfthe Iengthpr'theslOts then the maximumv buckling (i. effpile expansion) of the web members |2can occurf-The extent of lweb v`buckling can be controlled 'tosuit various drivingconditions;vr ln many applications it is preferable to secure weblbuckling (pileexpansion) such as shown in Figure 2. In that particular example the distance between the free end |32 and the shoulder l5! in the undriven pile was about one-fourth the slot length. It is apparent therefore that the extent of pile expansion can be controlled by properly establishing the distance between the sleeve end and positive stop.
As shown in Figure 1 the sleeve |33 has several parts or openings cut through it lying substantially within the slotted zone of the pile. Such parts can be employed to fill the bulb formed when the pile is expanded with concrete or other grouting material. This practice Will result in piles of even greater strength and resistance.
Another embodiment of the invention as illustrated in Fig. 3 involves securing one end of the inner sleeve member I3" within the pile I0 at some point above the slots il and having its lower end act as the free end capable of coming into engagement with the positive stop means l5', i. e., a, mere transposition of the parts shown in Figure 1.
Another embodiment of the invention involves securing expandible tips -and/or intermediate expandible sections to concrete or w-ood piling to form a composite pile.
The driving of the piling of this invention will vary with the nature of the application. If they are to be driven to bed rock before expanding G the pile, and in being so driven the pile passes through a soil strata cap-able of causing the pile to expand, then it is preferable to employ a pilot pile extending completely through the hollow piling and sleeve member so that none of the driving forces affect the web members. When bed rock is reached the pilot pile is withdrawn, and the pile driving hammer is permitted to operate Iagainst the pile head. These forces will cause the pile to begin expanding (i. e. buckle the web members) because the slotting has weakened the zone of the pile which is desired to be expanded. By continuing driving on the pile head, expansion of the pile will continue until the free end of the inner sleeve comes into engagemeni-l with the stop means. At this point expansion is complete and the pile end cannot move relative to the pile rhead. A pil-ot pile is also of use in driving through temporary obstructions. In driving to rock through soft soil, the pilot lpile is not required.
Under certain soil conditions and when a pilot pile is not used, the frictional resistance of the pile to driving will be sufficient to cause expansion of the pile Without reaching bed rock. This can also be accomplished by closing up on the opening of the lower end of the pile thereby adding end or point bearing to friction resistance to cause expansion. It will be apparent that it is possible to design the slot and webs of the piling so that expansion will not occur until an elevation has been reached which will provide the desired pulling and load supporting characteristics.
In some instances where the piling is to pass through various types of substr-ata it may be desirable to have the piling expanded at more than one elevation. This can readily be done as indicated in Fig. 4 by putting a plurality of slotted zones Il" along the pile l0 at the predetermined points where expansion is desired. In such instances expansion of the various zones can be accomplished simultaneously lor separately at the various levels.
The expanded piling -described herein will give greatly increased resistance to pulling forces and increase the load supporting capacity of the piling even in poor soil conditions.
While the piling as particularly described includes a movable sleeve and a positive stop for said sleeve it is possible in certain applications to eliminate these elements and merely use a slotted pile. Such piles can be expanded by driving to bed rock, permitting the end resistance of the rock to elect pile expansion.
Expansion of the pile at one or more of the slotted zones can also be -accomplished by mechanical means such as are Ydisclosed in my copending applications Serial No. 160,201, filed May 5, 1950, and Serial No. 160,203, filed May 5, 1950.
Since many widely diiering embodiments of the invention will occur to one skilled in the art, it is not to be construed as limited to the specific details illustrated and described herein, and various changes can be made therein without departing from the spi-rit and scope thereof.
