				  shall be made by the continuous driving and clearing out of a pipe casing
				  (including telescoping of smaller sizes inside of larger casing) except as
				  permitted in this subsection. Where casing is used, it shall be cleaned out to
				  undisturbed soil prior to sampling and the sample spoon driven into soil that
				  has not been affected by chopping, washing or hydrostatic imbalance.
1. Uncased borings: Uncased borings,
				  including borings where the casing is omitted for part of the depth, may be
				  used if the mud slurry method is followed. The requirements for soil sampling
				  and rock coring shall be the same for uncased borings as for borings made using
				  casing, except that prior to each soil sampling operation the boring shall be
				  substantially cleaned of disturbed material and the sample spoon shall be
				  advanced through any settled solids before counting the blows required to drive
				  the spoon. Longer sample spoons, having a sludge chamber, shall be used where
				  settled solids exceed six inches. In determining ground water levels, methods
				  shall be used to reduce and replace the mud slurry so that the hydrostatic head
				  may be measured. The procedures shall be described in detail in the
				  records.
2. Auger borings: Borings
				  may be made with augers except that short flight augers shall not be used in
				  granular soils below the water level. Sampling procedures in auger borings for

				  head shall be maintained in granular soils below the ground water level during
				  the boring operation.
3. Maximum
				  diameter: Where the bore hole, as drilled by any method, is in excess of four
				  inches in diameter, sampling operations shall be performed through a temporary
				  casing having a four-inch inside diameter or less.

				  auger borings) or geophysical methods without the recovery of soil samples or
				  rock cores (except as hereinafter stipulated) may be substituted for up to one
				  half of the number of borings required by the provisions of section 8 of this
				  subchapter provided that such probings, borings, and so forth, are carried to
				  adequate depth and are of a nature that will reasonably define the surface
				  contours of the rock. The accuracy of such surface contour definition shall be
				  confirmed by recovering rock cores at the locations of at least one fifth of
				  the probings or auger borings, or in the case where geophysical methods are
				  used, those borings which are made shall be so distributed as to permit
				  confirmation of the accuracy of the geophysical investigations.
(b) Where the foundation for the proposed
				  building consists of piling bearing on rock of class 1-65, 2-65, or 3-65, the
				  provisions of subsection (a) of this section shall apply, provided that the
				  borings consistently show that the soil overlying the rock consists solely of
				  deposits of class 6-65 through 11-65 and it is free of boulders or other
				  obstructions.
(c) Geophysical
				  investigations shall be conducted by experienced and qualified personnel
				  acceptable to the Chief Engineer, who may reject the results and require
				  additional exploration by borings if the results of the geophysical
				  explorations cannot be satisfactorily correlated to the logs of the borings.

					 piles penetrate fill, clay, silt, peat or similar compressible strata, the pile
					 loads shall be increased by the amount of drag exerted by such material, and by
					 the overlying strata, during consolidation. Computation of the amount of drag
					 shall consider the amount of added fill, the amount of shear strain between
					 pile (or group) and the soil, the ratio of vertical to horizontal pressure in
					 the soil, and the arrangement of the piles. The soil surrounding or underlying
					 the pile cap shall not be considered as providing any vertical support for the
					 cap.

					 and the maximum soil pressure or pile load (considering eccentricity) shall be
					 kept within the safe capacity thereof as established in sections 21 and 42 of
					 this subchapter. Soil pressure and pile load due to eccentricity shall be
					 computed on the basis of straight line distribution of foundation reaction.
					 However, other modes of distribution of the foundation reaction may be assumed,
					 subject to the approval of the chief engineer, if it can be demonstrated that
					 the pile and/or soil is capable of sufficient plastic deformation or to develop
					 such mode of distribution without failure.

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) Inspection
				  of subgrade of footings, piers and walls shall comply with the requirements of
				  section 46 of this subchapter:
1. Design:
i. Concrete footings: Concrete footings shall
				  be proportioned in accordance with the requirements of this section.
				  Reinforcement shall extend to within four inches of the edges of the
				  footing.
ii. Masonry footings:
				  Masonry used for construction of footings shall be solid units.
(1) Reinforced masonry footings shall meet
				  the building code requirements for reinforced masonry--U.S.A.S.I.--A-41.2
				  (1960), and shall be proportioned similarly to the proportioning of reinforced
				  concrete footings;
(2) Unreinforced
				  masonry footings shall be of such dimension that a sloping plane extending
				  downward from the top of the footing where it intersects the pier of wall, to
				  the bottom of the footing, and measured at the angle with the horizontal that
				  is indicated below, will be contained entirely within the footing:
(A) Soil bearing capacity of three tons per
				  square foot or less--60 degrees;
(B) Soil bearing capacity between three tons
				  per square foot and six tons per square foot--70 degrees;
(C) Soil bearing capacity greater than six
				  tons per square foot shall be investigated;
(D) The compressive stress in the footing,
				  based on the assumption that the vertical load is uniformed distributed over
				  horizontal sections bounded by said planes, shall not exceed the values as
				  required by design standards of this subchapter.

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) Concrete
				  foundation walls shall be designed in accordance with the requirements of this
				  subchapter relating to bearing or retaining walls. The equivalent unbraced
				  height of a wall supported by lateral soil pressure may be determined by a
				  recognized method of elastic analysis. Alternatively, such a wall may be
				  assumed to be laterally braced at intervals as follows:
1. Where fill is placed against both faces of
				  the walls: the full height of the wall or eight times the thickness, whichever
				  is the lesser value.
2. Where both
				  faces of the wall are not in contact with the soil: the height of the unbraced
				  section of the wall or eight times the thickness of the wall, whichever is
				  greater, but not more than the full height of the wall.

				  on undisturbed soil or on satisfactorily compacted or prepared
				  materials.
2. Accurate preparation
				  and inspection of the bearing materials directly underlying the foundation
				  shall be possible; and the bearing area shall be substantially level or
				  suitably benched.
3. Excavation
				  shall be kept substantially free of water during construction of the foundation
				  except that the use of tremie or similar underwater construction will be
				  permitted in the case of foundations bearing directly on rock, provided that
				  the construction procedure will permit thorough cleaning and preparation of the
				  rock surface, and that the surface of the rock is maintained in a clean
				  condition, unfouled by the inflow of soil or settlement of the fluid
				  suspension, until the concrete is in place.

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) A plan
				  showing clearly the designation of all piles by an identifying system shall be
				  filed with the chief engineer prior to the installation of such piles. All
				  detailed records for individual piles shall bear an identification
				  corresponding to that shown on the plan. A copy of such plan shall be available
				  at the site for inspection at all times.
(b) A record of penetration and behavior of
				  each pile during installation shall be kept by the architect or engineer
				  designated in this subchapter. Such records shall be prepared on forms
				  furnished by, or satisfactory to, the chief engineer and, upon the completion
				  of the installation, shall be filed with the chief engineer together with the
				  records of any additional borings or subsurface information obtained during
				  installation of the piles, and plans showing any deviations of the pile or
				  related construction (including any corrective measures) from the details and
				  locations shown on the approved plans. Inspection of piling and inspection of
				  pile load tests shall conform to the requirements of this subchapter.

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) Rules
				  concerning minimum pile penetrations are:
1.
				  Required by soil bearing capacity. The provisions of section 42 of this
				  subchapter shall apply.
2. Required
				  for lateral restraint: The provisions of section 37 of this subchapter shall
				  apply.
3. Piles located near a lot
				  line: Piles located near a lot line shall be designed on the assumption that
				  the adjacent lots will be excavated to a depth of ten feet below grade. Where
				  such excavation would reduce the embedded length of the pile, the portion of
				  the pile exposed shall be considered as providing no lateral or vertical
				  support, and the load-carrying determination in accordance with the provisions
				  of section 42 of this subchapter shall be made after the resistance offered by
				  the soil that is subject to potential excavation has been discounted.

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) Piles left
				  in place where a structure has been demolished shall not be used for support of
				  new construction unless satisfactory evidence, including load or hammer testing
				  representative piles, can be produced indicating the capacity, length, and
				  driving conditions of the piles. The load bearing value for such existing piles
				  shall be the least of the values indicated by:
1. The load or hammer test;
2. The capacity of the pile as a structural
				  member; and
3. The allowable
				  bearing pressure on the soil underlying the pile tips, all in accordance with
				  the provisions of section 42 of this subchapter.
New Jersey Administrative Code › Title 19 - OTHER AGENCIES › NEW JERSEY MEADOWLANDS COMMISSION › Chapter 6 - BUILDING CODE › Subchapter 2 - FOUNDATIONS › Section 19:6-2.34 - Tolerances and modification of design due to filed conditions

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) If the axis
				  of any pile is installed out of plumb or deviates from the specified batter by
				  more than four percent of the pile length, the design of the foundation shall
				  be modified as may be necessary to resist the resulting vertical and lateral
				  forces. In types of piles for which subsurface inspection is not possible, this
				  determination shall be made on the exposed section of the pile, which section,
				  at the time of checking axial alignment, shall not be less than five feet. In
				  piles which can be checked for axial alignment below the ground surface, the
				  sweep of the pile axis shall not exceed four percent of the embedded
				  length.
(b) A tolerance of three
				  inches from the designed location shall be permitted in the installation of
				  each pile without reduction in load capacity. Where piles are installed out of
				  position in excess of this amount, the true loading on such piles shall be
				  analytically determined from a survey which defines the actual location of the
				  piles as driven, and using the actual eccentricity in the pile group with
				  respect to the line of action of the applied load. If the total load on any
				  pile, so determined, is in excess of 110 percent of the allowable load bearing
				  capacity, correction shall be made by installing additional piles or by other
				  methods of load distribution, as required to reduce the maximum pile load to
				  110 percent of the capacity.
(c)
				  Where piles have been bent during installation, and the amount of the bend
				  exceeds the allowable tolerance for alignment of the pile axis as permitted in
				  subsection (a) of this section, the condition shall be investigated and, where
				  required, correction made by the installation of additional piles, by
				  strengthening the bent piles, or by other means acceptable to the chief
				  engineer.
New Jersey Administrative Code › Title 19 - OTHER AGENCIES › NEW JERSEY MEADOWLANDS COMMISSION › Chapter 6 - BUILDING CODE › Subchapter 2 - FOUNDATIONS › Section 19:6-2.35 - Minimum spacing of piles

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) Piles shall
				  be spaced to meet the following requirements:
1. Spacing of piles shall provide for
				  adequate distribution of the load on the pile group to the supporting soil, in
				  accordance with the provisions of section 42 of this subchapter.
2. In no case shall the minimum
				  center-to-center spacing of piles be less than 24 inches, nor less than the
				  values for specific types of pilings as indicated in section 48 of this
				  subchapter. Unless special measures are taken to assure that piles will
				  penetrate sufficiently to meet the requirements of section 32 of this
				  subchapter without interfering with, or intersecting each other, the minimum
				  center-to-center spacing of piles shall be twice the average diameter of the
				  butt for round piles; or, for taper piles, twice the diameter at a level 2/3 of
				  the pile length measured up from the tip. In cases of practical difficulty, the
				  spacing of new piles from existing piles under an adjacent building may be less
				  than the above values provided that the requirements relating to minimum
				  embedment and pile interference are satisfied and that the soil under the
				  proposed and existing buildings is not overloaded by the closer pile grouping.

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
Except as provided in section 48 of this subchapter for
					 timber piles, no tapered pile shall be less than six inches in diameter for any
					 section, nor have less than an eight-inch diameter at cutoff. The taper of any
					 tapered section may be uniform or may occur in steps. No pile of uniform
					 section shall have a diameter of less than eight inches or, if not circular, a
					 dimension of less than 7-1/2 inches. Tapered shoes or points of lesser
					 dimensions may be attached to the tips of piles.

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) Capping of
				  piles rules are:
1. Embedment: Tops of all
				  piles shall be embedded at least three inches in concrete caps. Such concrete
				  shall extend at least four inches beyond the edge of all piles. Cap plates will
				  not be required for steel H piles embedded in a reinforced concrete
				  cap.
2. Uplift: Where piles are
				  subject to uplift, they shall be anchored into the cap to resist at least 1-1/2
				  times the amount of such uplift without exceeding the basic allowable
				  stresses.
3. Reinforcement:
				  Reinforcement shall be placed to provide at least three inches of clear cover,
				  measured to the surface of the pile cap that is in contact with the ground. All
				  reinforcement adjacent to timber or concrete piling shall have a minimum of one
				  inch of concrete protection. Reinforcement shall extend to within four inches
				  of the edges of the pile cap.
4.
				  Design: Except as modified in this subsection, concrete pile caps shall be
				  designed in accordance with the requirements of this subchapter.
New Jersey Administrative Code › Title 19 - OTHER AGENCIES › NEW JERSEY MEADOWLANDS COMMISSION › Chapter 6 - BUILDING CODE › Subchapter 2 - FOUNDATIONS › Section 19:6-2.38 - Splicing of piles

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
Splices shall be constructed so as to provide and maintain
					 true alignment and position of the component parts of the pile during
					 installation and subsequent thereto, and shall be of adequate strength to
					 transmit the vertical and lateral loads (including tensions) and the moments
					 occurring in the pile section at the location of the splice without exceeding
					 the allowable stresses for such materials as established in section 42 of this
					 subchapter. Except for piles which can be visually inspected after driving,
					 splices shall develop at least 50 percent of the capacity of the pile in
					 bending. In addition, all pile splices in the upper ten feet of the pile
					 section shall be capable of resisting (at allowable working stresses) the
					 moment and shear that would result from an assumed eccentricity of the pile
					 load of three inches, or the pile shall be braced in accordance with the
					 provisions of section 37 of this subchapter to other piles that do not have
					 splices in the upper ten feet of embedment. For piles located near a lot line,
					 the embedded length of such piles shall be determined on the basis that the
					 adjacent site will be excavated to a depth of ten feet below the nearest grade.
