Definitions
- This perforated supporting member may be a perforated plate or a grid composed of upstanding partitions.
- the invention relates to a method for driving a foundation element into the earth by means of vibration; as well as to a supporting member for this foundation element.
- a foundation element may only be driven into the earth by means of a vibrator when the cross-section of this element is rather small. It is, for example, possible to vibrate a metal pile having an I-I-shaped cross-section into the earth. However, such a pile has only a small lower bearing surface so that its supporting capacity will have to be substantially derived from the friction between its upstanding side surface and the earth. When the upper layers of the earth insufficiently contribute to this friction, foundation piles which are adapted to be vibrated into the earth due to their small cross-section, can only accept a small load. In case the upper layers of the earth are subject to subsidence e.g. because the ground level has previously been raised, the friction between the earth and the upstanding side surface of the foundation element would even act on the element in a downward direction, which makes the application of foundation piles which are adapted to be vibrated into the earth wholly impossible.
- the method according to the invention is characterized in that at least one perforated supporting member is carried along by the foundation element when this element is vibrated into the earth.
- the (or each) supporting member which is driven into the earth together with the foundation element is perforated, only a small resistance will be encountered as the earth may penetrate through the perforations. Thus, the vibrator will be able to overcome this resistance even when the overall surface of the perforated supporting member(s) is large. Therefore, the perforated supporting member(s) may be driven into a bearing layer of the earth without any difficulty.
- the perforations in the supporting member are arranged and dimensioned in such manner that, when the foundation element is subjected to a static load, a bridging effect is obtained in the earth within these perforations which is sufficient to transfer the forces to the supporting member, this supporting member will conduct itself as if no perforations are present.
- a hardening fluid may be injected underneath at least one perforated supporting member.
- a perforated supporting member may be positioned underneath the foundation element before this element is vibrated into the earth.
- the perforated supporting member may be easily vibrated into the earth.
- the invention further relates to a supporting member for a foundation element adapted to be used in the method hereinbefore described.
- This supporting member may consist of a perforated plate or of a grid composed of upstanding partitions.
- the invention also relates to a foundation comprising at least one foundation element which has been driven into the earth by means of vibration according to the method hereinbefore described.
- the pile 1 shown in the drawing by way of example is made of metal and is I-I-shaped in cross-section.
- a pile shoe which is positioned underneath the lower end of this pile 1 consists of a grid 2 composed of upstanding partitions.
- the grid 2 may be connected to the lower end of the pile 1.
- a second grid 2' which is similar to the grid 2 is fixedly connected to the pile 1 at a distance above the grid 2.
- the surface of the grids 2, 2' is large relative to the crosssection of the pile 1. Further, the openings of the grids 2, 2' cover at least percent of their overall surface.
- the pile 1, together with the grids 2, 2' may be driven into the earth by means of a vibrator 3. As the earth may penetrate through the openings in the grids 2, 2' only a small displacement of the earth will be necessary during this driving operation so that only a small resistance will be encountered. After the pile 1 has reached its required depth in the earth, the grids 2, 2 act as supporting members.
- the openings in the grids 2, 2' may be arranged and dimensioned in such manner that under the influence of a static load on the pile 1 a bridging effect will occur in the earth within these openings which is sufficient to transmit the forces onto the grids 2, 2. These grids 2, 2 will then substantially act as solid plate members.
- a hardening fluid into the earth underneath the grid 2 and/or the earth below the grid 2' in order to obtain the required supporting capacity of the grids 2, 2.
- the hardening fluid is injected through the upper ends of pipes 4 and 4.
- the lower end of pipe 4 extends through the perforations of lower grid 2, whereas the pipe 4' extends only through grid 2' so as to allow for the injection of the hardening fluid, under suitable pressure, underneath either one or both of the grids.
- the supporting members may consist of perforated plates.
- this member will generally be positioned underneath the pile so as to act as a pile shoe.
- the number of the supporting members may be varied at will in dependence on the conditions of the earth or the required load capacity of the pile.
- a method for driving a foundation element into the earth by means of vibration comprising, mounting the lower end of the foundation element on the upper surface of a perforated supporting member, and concurrently vibrating the foundation element and said supporting member into the earth, forming said perforated supporting member as a relatively flat element with upstanding partitions forming a substantially uniform grid over its entire extent with openings which constitute at least 80 percent of the entire surface area, whereby the openings are so arranged and dimensioned so as to provide a bridging effect in the earth through said openings upon subjecting the foundation element to a static load and render the supporting member equivalent to an unperforated supporting member, said supporting member being formed to extend substantially beyond the periphery of the foundation element.
- a method for driving a foundation element into the earth by means of vibration comprising; connecting a perforated supporting member to the lower end of the foundation element, the supporting member extending beyond the periphery of the foundation element, concurrently vibrating the foundation element and said supporting member into the earth, and injecting a hardening fluid into the earth underneath said perforated supporting member.
- porting members in conjunction with the foundation element into the earth, and injecting a hardening fluid into the earth underneath at least one of said perforated supporting members.
