Definitions
- the advantage of the method according to the invention is that the mortar can be introduced into the pipe without problems, since the mortar is introduced before the pile element is placed in the pipe. Consequently, a quantity of mortar can collect in the bottom of the pipe without inclusions being formed in this mortar. Moreover, the mortar can flow in freely when the pipe is pulled upwards and can completely fill the hole formed in this way.
- the desired pressure in the mortar 7 can be maintained by means of a column of water 13, which is situated above the mortar level 8. As a result, the pressure of the mortar 7 may be approximately equal to the earth pressure.

Description
- The invention relates to the production of a foundation pile in the ground. In a technique of this nature, the first step is to form a hole in the ground by means of a pipe which is provided with an external screw thread and which is then filled with a settable material, such as a mortar. After this material has set and the pipe has been removed, the pile is ready for use.
- The advantage of this technique is that no vibrations are generated when the pile is put in place. This technique is preferred to pile-driving in particular in a sensitive environment, for example in old town centres, in the vicinity of buildings containing sensitive equipment and the like.
- Furthermore, it is known from NL-A-9200855 to use both mortar and a prefabricated pile element. In this case, the pile element is firstly placed in the pipe which has been positioned in the ground. Then, the space which remains between the pile element and the internal wall of the pipe has to be filled with grout. Then, the pipe is pulled upwards, in order to form a hole into which the grout has to flow out. Meanwhile, the pile element remains in the same position, specifically on the base component which remains behind in the bottom of the hole and initially closes off the pipe.
- There are various drawbacks associated with this known method. Firstly, placing grout or concrete mortar in the somewhat limited space between pile element and pipe has been found to cause problems. This space is so limited that it is impossible to ensure that it is filled completely with the relatively pasty grout without taking additional measures.
- A further drawback is that when the pipe is pulled upwards, the grout flowing out into the hole is not pressed against the wall of the hole to a sufficient extent, and there is a considerable risk of groundwater-filled cavities in the grout. However, a certain pressure is required with a view to obtaining the desired load-bearing capacity for the pile.
- However, when the pipe is pulled upwards, an upwardly directed force is exerted on the grout, leading to the grout initially moving upwards with the pipe. This in fact counteracts the desired effect of pressing the grout against the wall of the hole, and cavities are created in the grout.
- This has an adverse effect on the positive skin friction with respect to the load-bearing layer of soil. Also, the grout does not bear correctly against the pile element. The cavities in the grout means that the skin friction forces and the point force cannot be utilized to their maximum extent, because the set body of grout is ruptured earlier under load due to crack formation than would be the case if there were no cavities and the grout were correctly joined to the pile element.
- In the said known method, it is attempted to overcome this problem by exerting a high pressure of 8 bar on the grout while the pipe is being pulled upwards, but owing to the narrow space between the pile element and the pipe, together with the arching action of the grout, it has been found that this high pressure has little effect, since the pressure in the space decreases quickly in the downwards direction. In addition, the pipe has to be rotated in such a manner that the screw thread can exert an additional pressure on the grout.
- A procedure of this nature is complicated. The high pressure to which the grout has to be exposed requires the use of additional equipment. Moreover, it is necessary to take measures to prevent the grout from disappearing at other locations, for example in the weak layers which are able to bear less load.
- Therefore, the object of the invention is to provide a different approach, in which it is also possible to use a screw-in hollow pipe in combination with a pile element and settable material. According to the invention, this is achieved by means of a method for producing a foundation pile which can be subjected to compressive and/or tensile loads in the ground, comprising the consecutive steps of:
- screwing into the ground a pipe which is closed off at the bottom by a base part and has a screw thread on the circumference,
- introducing a quantity of mortar into the pipe,
- pulling the pipe upwards, leaving the base part behind, in such a manner that the mortar collects in the hole formed when the pipe is pulled upwards,
- then lowering a prefabricated pile element, the transverse dimensions of which are smaller than the corresponding internal dimensions of the pipe, into the mortar which has collected in the hole, and down as far as the base part,
- removing the pipe.
- The advantage of the method according to the invention is that the mortar can be introduced into the pipe without problems, since the mortar is introduced before the pile element is placed in the pipe. Consequently, a quantity of mortar can collect in the bottom of the pipe without inclusions being formed in this mortar. Moreover, the mortar can flow in freely when the pipe is pulled upwards and can completely fill the hole formed in this way.
- When the pipe is pulled upwards, no frictional forces which could impair the flow and therefore inclusion-free filling of the hole are generated. Consequently, the mortar bears correctly against the wall of the said hole, this being a necessary precondition if the intended point resistance and positive skin friction are to be obtained in the finished foundation pile.
- When the pile element then penetrates into the mortar, these beneficial effects are only intensified. The pile element drives the mortar downwards and sideways, thus further improving the way in which it bears against the wall of the hole, and also ensuring that it bears correctly against the pile element.
- Preferably, in the method according to the invention, the prefabricated pile element is positioned in the pipe in such a manner that the bottom end of the pile is situated at the level of the mortar level.
- The bottom surface of the pile element is always situated directly above the mortar level. The advantage of this is that the mortar can move freely when flowing out into the hole, without any bridging of the mortar. This is because the cross section of the pipe is large enough to prevent this phenomenon.
- In addition, the pipe may be filled with water above the mortar level, thus further helping the mortar to flow out.
- The method according to the invention may comprise the steps of lowering the pile element as the mortar level falls while the pipe is being pulled upwards, and of forcing the pile element into the mortar after the mortar has collected in the hole formed when the pipe is pulled upwards.
- To maintain the desired pressure in the mortar, the method according to the invention may comprise the step of supplying additional water above the mortar level while the mortar level is falling.
- Finally, the method may comprise the step of rotating the pipe in such a manner that the soil which has collected in the screw thread is pressed downwards when the pipe is moved upwards after the pile has been forced into the mortar.
- The invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to the method steps shown in the figures.
- As shown in Figure 1, an auger, which is denoted overall by 3 and comprises a hollow pipe 4 with a screw thread 5 on its outer side, is screwed into the ground 1, in the
space 2. On the underside, the hollow pipe is closed off by the base component 6. - After
auger 3 has reached the desired depth, the hollow pipe 4 is filled with a quantity ofmortar 7. Then, as illustrated in Figure 3, aprefabricated pile element 9 is placed in the hollow pipe 4, the bottom end of this pile element being held just at the level of themortar level 8. - In the method step shown in Figure 4, the
auger 3 is pulled upwards without being rotated, thus forming ahole 10, the internal diameter of which corresponds to the external diameter of the screw thread 5. Thishole 10 is situated in the load-bearing layer ofsoil material 11, and may also extend into the lessstrong layers 12. - When the
auger 3 is pulled upwards, the base component 6 remains behind at the bottom of thehole 10. Themortar 7 also collects in thehole 10 formed in this way. The pile element is allowed to fall with themortar level 8, but without allowing thepile element 9 to penetrate into the mortar. - The desired pressure in the
mortar 7 can be maintained by means of a column of water 13, which is situated above themortar level 8. As a result, the pressure of themortar 7 may be approximately equal to the earth pressure. - After the
mortar 7 has flowed out into thehole 10 formed in this way, thepile element 9 can be moved downwards, in such a manner that it penetrates into themortar 7. In the process, some of the mortar rises into the auger 3: cf. themortar 14. Theprefabricated element 9 ultimately reaches the base component 6. - Then, the
auger 3 can be removed. To do this, theauger 3 is pulled upwards and is rotated in such a manner that the soil which has collected inside the screw thread 5 is pressed downwards above themortar 7. This quantity of soil is denoted in Figure 6 byreference numeral 15. - As shown in Figure 7, all the space around the
pile element 9 is thus filled with replaced earth. The finished foundation pile as illustrated in Figure 7 therefore comprises, extending from the base component 6, acasing 16 which consists of set mortar and is pressed firmly against the load-bearing layer ofsoil material 11, theprefabricated pile element 9, the bottom of thehole 10 and the replacedsoil 15 which has been pressed onto it.
