4 Claims. (Cl. (i1-53.7)
This invention relates to the driving of concrete piles.
More particularly, therinvention is concerned with improvements in the method of driving or placing concrete pilesin whichfa pipe or casingis placed in position in the earth and the concrete is then poured into the pipe. Where sufficiently heavy walled pipe is used, the pipe may be driven without need of special reinforcement and the driving presents no special problems. However, pipe of sufciently heavy wall thickness is expensive in any event and frequently is not available. With thin walled pipe, one known method which has been employed is the so-called Raymond Step Taper method, involving the use of a pipe tapered from butt to full diameter and having a screw joint every eight Yor ten feet between sections, the pipe being driven by hitting the shoulder of the connection piece which engages a screw joint. In another method, known as the Cobi method, and which is perhaps the most widely used, a mandrel made up of various leaves, the center of which is a flexible tube, is used. The tube is expanded by air pressure sothat this structure bears against the side of a shaft. This stiiens thestructure sufficiently to permit driving and upon release of the pressure, the center mandrel structure collapses suiiiciently to permit withdrawal. In either of these methods, the mechanical complication and expense involved are considerable.
AIt is an object of the present invention to provide a method ofvdriving concrete piles which may be practiced simply and economically with readily available materials and which avoids the complications inherent in the use of the mandrel structures heretofore found necessary.
Another object of the invention is to provide an apparatus and method for utilizing a water column as a force transmitting device in the driving of concrete pile casings.
A still further object of the invention is to provide an apparatus for the Vdriving of pile casings by means of a-removable core, in which improved means for overcoming the inertia of the casing ispprovided.
A pile driving apparatus and method embodying the invention in a preferred form will now be fully described with reference to the accompanying drawing, land ythe features forming the invention will then be pointed out more particularly in the appended claims.
The drawing is a vertical, axial Section of the pile casing and driving core.
Referring to the drawing, there is indicated at 10 a casing or outer pipe which is to be driven, attached as by welding at point 11 comprising a generally cylindrical r tubular section 12 and point 13 which is filled as indicated at 14 with reinforced concrete up to a suitable level. A core or mandrel 20 is used and may be made up of any desired number of sections 21 of convenient length for handling. The sections 21 may be connected by bushing pieces 22, tapered at their ends 23 for easy insertion into the core sections and having a central cylindrical section 24 machined to t the inner diameter of the core sections 21 with a drive it which may readily ite States Patent 1f r'ice l2 be made water tight. The top of the core` 20 is sealed off by a plate 25 welded in place and is fitted with a hammer anvil 26 against which the hammer 27 strikes. The lower end of the core is closed oi by a plug 28 having a -section 29. with a driven and water tight fit within the tube and a shoulder 30 against which the tube end seats. This plug rests upon the upper surface of the reinforced concrete 14 within the driving point.
A water seal between core 20 and casing 10 is provided and takes the form of a collar 31, which, preferably, has a water tight machined drive fit to the outer casing 10 land is adjustable along the core 20. At the lower end of this collar and between it and the core 20 is a gasket 32 of rubber or other -suitable material, which being forced upwardly by pressure within the `space below it forms a seal under operating conditions. Water connections 35 and 36 are provided to the interior of the core 20 and to the space between the core 20 and casing or -pipe 10. In operation, the structure as just described is set up in the manner indicated in Fig. 1 and water is introduced -to lill the entire inner yspace within the core 20 and between itiand the casing 10, being maintained under suitable pressure as by connecting a pump or pumps to the inlets. Free 4air is preferably vented completely so as to insure a solid column of water within the tubing.
When the hammer blow strikesthe top of the stem or core through the anvil 26, a very slight axial compression of the `core 20 will produce a very great increase in `compression of the water, transmitting the Vforce of the blow largely through the water `column to the plug 28 and -thus to the point, driving the same into the ground, so that the casing 10 is moved principally by tension applied at its lower end and without tendency to buckle.
The forces upon the core 20 comprise at any given level,
a substantially radial and uniformly distributed hydraulic pressure due to the water within the tubing, and a substantially radial and uniformly distributed pressure due to water outside the tubing, plus the compressing force exerted in an axial direction due to the impact of the hammer against the upper end of the tube 20. Since a very slight expansion of the tubing 20 under the internal hydraulic pressure will further compress the water surrounding it in the annular space between it and the cas ing 10, the rupturing force due to impact is largely counterbalanced. Since the effects involved are dynamic, there will be but little effect due to travel of the water in the annular space between pipes and, hence, but little disturbance of this counterbalancing effect due to leakage at the ends of the pipe.
Itwill be noted that no spacers or other element-s are provided intermediate the ends of the piping 20 for maintaining it centered within the outer pipe or casing 10, and ordinarily` no such means is needed. A
The pipe may be driven in one piece, as indicated, as maybe driven by sections, where desired, as by adding anotherV length to the outer pipe 10 and inner pipe ,'20 from time to time as the driving proceeds, this being accomplished without the need for special equip-ment and involving merely the removal of the top core section and collar land replacement of these elements.
When the driving of the casing 10 has been completed, the pipe 20 is withdrawn, removing also the collar 31 if desired, and the casing 10 may be left full of water for support against ground pressure or may also be capped and have the water within it kept under pressure for additional support. The concrete may be poured at any convenient time and preferably by employing the Tremie method, introducing the concrete in the bottom of the tube and gradually replacing the Water column by con crete. Alternatively, where desired, the water may be pumped out preliminary to pouring the concrete.
The pipe 36 used for lling the space between casing and core 20 may be eliminated, and the space around the core may be lled by flow down the core and up the space around it. A slight taper on the plug 28 will permit sufiicient leakage as the plug moves relative to the core to achieve this result. An air bleed passage 37 may be used in this event for venting air from the space .between casing 10 and core 20, and will ordinarily be provided in any event. In accordance with well understood principles, a passage 37 of small bore will serve to bleed oif air while not permitting leakage of water to any objectionable extent. A boot or sleeve 38 is also preferably provided, and extends from the overhang-ing shoulder part of the anvil top 26 to the cap 31, so as to transmit driving force to this element and from it to the casing .10. In the absence of this element and in particular where the pile being driven is very long, the inertia of the 'casing may cause difiiculty, as by tearing the point off the casing. With the use of the sleeve 38, this diiculty is eliminated and suicient force is communicated to the casing through the cap 31 to cause it to follow the point without diiculty.
The apparatus and method of the invention are not limited to piles of any special size or construction, nor are the operating conditions in general critical. While a spe- ' cial driving point 13, 14 has been shown, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art, that the invention is also applicable with casings equipped with so-called at plate points. Piles have been driven without difficulty utilizing a casing 10 of about 12 gauge metal and a foot in diameter, by means of a core 20 of about l0 inches diameter and wall thickness of an inch, although greater wall thicknesses could be used to some advantage where the tubing is available. The static hydraulic pressure maintained within the core and casing is not critical and may generally be about 90 pounds per square inch. In general, it is desirable to maintain this pressure particularly through the commencement of the driving of the pile at fairly low value, increasing the pressure somewhat as the Y `4 pile is driving so as to provide support for the casing 10 against ground pressure, as needed.
