DPA-PLUS screw piles

DPA-PLUS screw piles is an in-ground formed and soil-displacing screwed pile system. The soil is laterally displaced, so only the drilling tube contains a limited amount of excavated soil. The production is low-vibration, which is important when producing near adjacent structures that are sensitive to settlements and/or vibrations.

Application

  • Particularly suitable for residential construction, commercial construction, and other new buildings where disturbance to the surrounding area needs to be limited.
  • Suitable for urban renewal projects where vibration-free foundations near adjacent buildings or properties are required.
  • An alternative to non-soil-displacing screw piles where excavated soil severely contaminates the construction site or cannot be removed or disposed of.
  • Causes less noise disturbance than driven pile systems, making them applicable for the expansion of existing and occupied buildings.
  • Applicable in soil conditions or loadings where a long reinforcement cage is necessary, which can be centrally placed in the pile with the required coverage.

Features

  • Soil-displacing, with only limited excavated soil at the drilling tube and ground level.
  • Low-vibration, therefore well-suited near adjacent structures sensitive to settlements and/or vibrations.
  • Noise-friendly, resulting in less disturbance to the surroundings and suitable near residences, schools, public buildings, etc.
  • Pile head is poured up to the working level.
  • Pile length can be immediately adjusted to the ground conditions.
  • Adjustments in pile specifications possible until just before work commencement.
  • Batter positions: backward 5:1 / forward 10:1.
  • Loadable both in tension and compression.
  • Reinforcement possible along the entire length.
  • Reinforcement is installed in the feed tube before concreting.
  • The pile system is known and accepted by the Building and Housing Supervision service, structural engineers, as well as in construction standards. Competitive compared to soil-removing piles due to greater bearing capacity and a 'clean' construction site.

Vroom Funderingstechnieken has extensive experience with screw piles and provides advice on the application possibilities of this pile type and other screw pile systems.

Quality Control

Vroom Funderingstechnieken manufactures DPA-PLUS screw piles according to a procedure established for Vroom Funderingstechnieken as part of internal quality control, nationally applicable standards, and execution conditions.

Control of Geotechnical Bearing Capacity

DPA-PLUS screw piles are installed to the calculated screw-in depth during soundings. The required drilling moment is measured for assessment and recognition of the existing soil condition.

Control of Pile Technical Bearing Capacity

All DPA-PLUS screw piles are checked for continuity after pile manufacturing. Additional inspection can visually occur after excavation of the pile head. The concrete quality can additionally be checked by drilling and testing cores from the manufactured piles.

Technical data

Manufacturing process

  1. Screw installation rotates clockwise through intermediate soil layers.
  2. Screw installation continues clockwise to the required depth.
  3. Reinforcement is installed over the specified length.
  4. Core of the casing is filled with concrete mix while rotating counterclockwise.
  5. Concrete mix is maintained at least 1 m above working level during installation. Casing is withdrawn by counterclockwise rotation.
  6. Pile is finished in preparation for integrity testing.

Reinforcement

Grade B500B. Pile reinforcement is dimensioned based on load data provided by the structural engineer. Helical stirrup reinforcement provides a significantly stiffer reinforcement cage, resulting in reduced deformation.

Shaft reinforcement is suspended at the required level within the screw casing prior to concreting.

Load-bearing capacity

The pile class factors are established according to a nationally recognised self-declaration type A1.

Base resistance factor

αp = 0.27
β = 1.0
The soil-displacing section of the screw casing is screwed into the load-bearing stratum.

Shaft friction factor

αs = 0.020 from the pile tip to the top of the load-bearing sand layer.
Pile diameter corresponds to the external diameter of the pile.

The soil-displacing section of the screw casing is screwed into the load-bearing stratum.

Tension: αt = 0.009

Load and settlement behaviour

Settlement behaviour within the service load range is comparable to that of a displacement pile.

Load spectrum

Compression up to approx. 2500 kN.
Tension up to approx. 400 kN.
Advice regarding the load-bearing capacity of a DPA PLUS pile for specific soil conditions can be provided by Vroom Funderingstechnieken.

Available pile diameters in mm

310/410, 360/510, 410/560, 460/610 and 560/710*
* consult us for guidance on the application of larger pile diameters.

Pile length and applicability depend on soil conditions and pile loads. Feasibility of the installation depth is to be assessed by Vroom Funderingstechnieken.

Concrete quality

Available in C20/25, C25/30, C30/37 and C35/45 grades.
