(computed as above) of tNenty (20} tons per pile is developed. In
special cases a grea ter 01:' 1 ess bearing pavier may be used, as permi t-
ted or ordered by the Engineer.
Pile heads should extend not l.ess than 12" or more than 20"
into the concrate cap, except in cases where sealing a cofferdam
against hydrostatic pressure may require a greater' bend to concrete.
The thickness of concrete above the top's of piles should not be less
than 18 inches. The bottom of s,11 piers shfl,ll extend bEl10w the low-
est possible line of scour, which in no case shal~ ce considered
less than 5 feet below the permanent bed of the stream.
Vfuere timber pile s are required, the founda tiol1 shall be exoa-
vated to sl;ch a depth that the highest point of the cutoff pile will
be below the planG of permanent ground water or extreme low vvater,
the object being to as nearly as possible perpetuate the life of the
pile. .
Piles shall be driven as shovvu on the plans, or as otherwise
directed by the engi1:eer4 They shall be so driven as to develop
the desired boaring power as determined by the formula given elser:'
where in this specification.
All l)ile heads shal.l be freshly recut and chamfered, or "dubbed"
before driving. Any piling showing tendency to batter or split during
the process 0 f driving shall be lTringed n 4
Piles with split heads below cutoff must be removed and new ones
driven to replace them.'
The fall of a drop hammer shall not exceed 20 feet, and in no
~ase shall a hammer weighing less than 2000 lus. be used. No allow-
ance will be made for driving or withdrawing rojected piles, or piles
in :CDlm3WOl'k4 l:Vhen piles are driven below water by U$6 of a "follow-
er", the pi.le dri"ITe:r lea,is shall extend close to the bottom in order
to supply lateral support to the pile. The Cont:r,Jetor will be
responsible for the d.etermination of a pile length. The method of
driving piles is su'bject to the approval of the engineer.
EXCAVATIon FOR PILING:
Excavation 8!:i.:.ll1 be removed bo the final depth of footing before
any piling are driven. rllien the piles are all in place, the material
which has been caUG~C to raise between the piles above the fhlal
fOQ.ting depth, shall be removed. In cases where a clamshell ox other
device is used to excavate before the cofferdam is in place; all
material disnlaced outside ilia cofferdam as it is built shall be
backf iIled to the na tV.lEal stream bed. Allowance wL 11 not be made
for swell due to driving piles.

position in the completed pile. The concrete Shall be carefully
placed, tamped and spaded, ~are being used to fill every part of the
form and to work the concrete around the steel without displacing it.
Piles mhall be cast separately, or if alternate piles are cas~ in a
tier, the intermediate piles shall not be puured until 4 days after
the pouring of the adjacent piles. Piles cast in tiers shall be .
separated by ta.r paper. The concrete shall be poured continuously 'l\
in each pile. The completed pile shall be free from any stone pockets, ~
porous spots, or other defects and shall be straight and true to form,' ,i.
as specified. Forms for concrete piles shall be practically water
tight, built of surfaced lumber and shall not be removed for 24 hours.

All concrete piles shall be cured at least 40 days at a temper-
ature of not less than 40 degrees F. or at least 30 days at a tam-
perature not less than 60 degrees F.
All piles Shall be covered with sand ar burlap and kept wet for
at least 10 days after pouring. Great care shall be taken that green
piles Bre not injured while curing by improperly supporting, handlingl
or transporting them.
All concrete used for concrete piling shall be Class B, which
shall be water proofed by using 5% of hydrated lime, as h€rein speci-
fied. .' .
The average diameter shall not be less than 12 inches; and the
tip diameter shall not be less than 9 inches. ~~e length shall not
excee.d 30 average diamaters for piles dri~en through firm soil, nor
15 average diameters for piles driven to unyielding strata, as rock,
through loose, wet soil or filled ground.
LOADS:
Concrete piles, when prop erly designed, constructed and placed
maybe subjected to loads as determined by formula or test, but not
to exceed 300 pounds per square inch total cross-section at the small-
est section.
Loads on concrete pilES will generally not exceed 25 tons and
are limited to 30 tons. For arches, continuous girders, movable
spans and high abutments, the l~ad shall not exceed 25 tons.
DRIVING CONCRETE PILES:
Requirements for driving la~ge concrete piles will be given by
special specifications. For piles containing not over one and one-
half cubic yards, a drop hammer weighing not less than the pile may
be used, .striking with short blows. A steam hammer, the total lIvelght
of whioh is not less than two-thirds that of the pile is preferable.
All conorete pile heads must be proteoted while driving by suitable
cushions or wood, rope or other resilient material~

CONCRETE PILES CAST IN :PLACE:
\Vhen piles are cast in a strong metal Shell which is driven to
refusal and which remains in place after the concrete is set, the
safe loads, when the pile is completely imbedded in firm material,
may be taken as for driven concrete piles.
Piles cast in place without metal reinforcement Shall not be
used in water or ground so soft, in either wet or dry condition, as
not to give firm later~l support~
No pile of this type' Shall be poured until nIl driving \tithin
a radius of 8 feet is eompleted~
BEARDJG P01NBR OF JETTED :PILES:
The safe bearing power of piles driven by means of a jet shall
be determined, either by actua.l test, or by formula given in this
specification, using as "srr the average of the last three blows with
the jet removed.
CREOSOTED PILES:
When creosoted piles are specified, they shall conform to the
~ecifications for ~reosoted timber and piling outlined in the specifi-
c~tions ror Timber Struetures.
Great cal~e r,1Ust lJffZ exercised. in thehalldling of creosoted piles
so as not to break the protecting creosotacl seal. Rough treatment
may be cause for rejection. All outoff surfaces, pavie marks. etc.
must be completely saturated with hot oreosote oil.
TEST PILES:
The engineer may require the contr~ctor to drive test piles
in the manner and places directed, and/~~e size and kind speoified.
Free access shall be given the engineer during driving to take any
measurements or observations he may see fit_ If the results of a
test pile show that piling are feasible and should be used, test piles
shall be paid for in the manner outlined under fTMeasurement and pay-
ment" below. If, however, piling are not used in the structure, the
work of driving test piles shall be paid as "Force Account" outlined
in th ese sp ecifications. .
.
Should metal points be considered necessary, they will be fur-
nished by the Oontractor at the expense of the state, but the Oon-
tractor will be reQuired to put them on the piles free of oharge.
The Contractor will order piles of a certain length on his own re-
sponsibility. He will, however, have acoess to all records of
borings, soundings or test l")iles, and will :recei va any other inform-
ation the St8te may have as a guide for his judgment asto the
required length.
