Subject: High Capacity Pipe in Decomposed Rock
 
Author: Marc Gallagher 2003-01-29  
     
  Greetings,
Does anyone have experience driving pipe piles into decomposed rock for high capacities (specifically mica schist in NYC). The rock is 50 to 100+ blows per 6" penetration with a split spoon. Contractor is looking to get 150-200T design loads but is concerned with creep. Looking for actual load test experience if possible....
Thanks,
Marc
