Driven Piles

If you are using driven H-piles, the flanges of the shape must run north-south and the web must run east-west.

See

Figure 3.

Figure 3

Driven piles require a ¾" diameter hole in the web of the pile for mounting the pile cap. The location of the hole is shown in

Figure 4.

The piles should be driven in such a manner that no mushrooming of the top of the piles occurs.

Note:

the pile shown in

Figure 4

is a W6X9 structural steel member. Your PE may specify a different structural steel member, but the hole location will stay the same.

Figure 4

Once the piles are driven, attach a pile cap to each pile using a ⅝"-11 x 1 ¼" bolt, a ⅝"-11 nut and two ⅝" star washers.

See Figure 5.
