New Jersey Administrative Code › Title 19 - OTHER AGENCIES › NEW JERSEY MEADOWLANDS COMMISSION › Chapter 6 - BUILDING CODE › Subchapter 2 - FOUNDATIONS › Section 19:6-2.39 - General requirements for installation of piles

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) Piles shall
				  be installed with adequate provision for the protection of adjacent buildings
				  and property.
(b) Piling shall be
				  handled and installed to the required penetration and resistance by methods
				  that leave their strength unimpaired and that develop and retain the required
				  load bearing resistance. Any damaged pile shall be satisfactorily repaired or
				  the pile shall be rejected. Subject to the approval of the chief engineer,
				  damaged piles may be used at a fraction of the design load as determined by the
				  architect or engineer in lieu of repair or rejection.
(c) Where boring records or site conditions
				  indicate possible deleterious action on pile materials due to soil
				  constituents, changing water levels, or other causes, such materials shall be
				  adequately protected by preservatives or encasements that will not be rendered
				  ineffective by driving and that will prevent deleterious action. The following
				  specific provisions shall apply:
1. Untreated
				  timber piles shall not be used unless the top level of the pile is below the
				  permanent water table. The permanent water table level shall not be assumed
				  higher than the invert level of any sewer, drain, or subsurface structure in
				  the adjacent streets, nor higher than the water level at the site resulting
				  from the lowest drawdown of wells or sumps, but in no case shall untreated
				  timber piles be used where the cutoff level is less than ten feet below the
				  adjacent legal grade. Where treated piles are required, preservation treatment
				  shall consist of impregnation with creosote solution, or for piles entirely
				  embedded below grade, a pentachlorophenal solution may be used. Treatment shall
				  be in accordance with all requirements of this subchapter.
2. Piles installed in ash or garbage fills,
				  cinder fills, or which are free-standing in or near a sea-water environment,
				  shall be investigated regarding the need for special protective treatment and,
				  where protection treatment is indicated, shall be protected against
				  deterioration by encasement, coating, or other device acceptable to the chief
				  engineer.
3. Equipment: Equipment
				  and methods for installing piles shall be such that piles are installed in
				  their proper position and alignment, without damage. Equipment shall be
				  maintained in good repair.

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
The use of uncased shafts (that is, where the concrete of
					 the pile shaft is in direct contact with the surrounding soil) will not be
					 permitted.
New Jersey Administrative Code › Title 19 - OTHER AGENCIES › NEW JERSEY MEADOWLANDS COMMISSION › Chapter 6 - BUILDING CODE › Subchapter 2 - FOUNDATIONS › Section 19:6-2.41 - Where more than one pile type, pile capacity or method of pile installation is used

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) Wherever it
				  is proposed to construct a foundation for a building utilizing piles of more
				  than one type or capacity, modifying an existing foundation by the addition of
				  piles of a type or capacity other than those of the existing piling, construct
				  or modify a foundation utilizing different methods or more than one method of
				  installation, or using different types or capacities of equipment (such as
				  different types of hammers having markedly different stricking energies or
				  speeds), or support part of a building on piles and part on footings, the
				  several parts of the building supported on the different types, capacities, or
				  modes of pilings shall be separated by suitable joints providing for
				  differential movement, or a report shall be submitted by an engineer qualified
				  in soil mechanics, establishing to the satisfaction of the chief engineer that
				  the proposed construction is adequate and safe, and showing that the probable
				  settlements and differential settlements to be expected will not result in
				  instability of the building or stresses in the structures in excess of the
				  allowable values established in this subchapter. The provisions of section 42
				  of this subchapter relating to required load test shall apply separately and
				  distinctly to each different type or capacity of piling method of installation,
				  or type or capacity or equipment used, except where analysis of the probable,
				  comparative behavior of the different types or capacities of the piles or the
				  methods of installation indicates that data on one type of capacity of pile
				  permits a reliable extrapolation of the probable behavior of the piles of other
				  types and capacities.

New Jersey Administrative Code › Title 19 - OTHER AGENCIES › NEW JERSEY MEADOWLANDS COMMISSION › Chapter 6 - BUILDING CODE › Subchapter 2 - FOUNDATIONS › Section 19:6-2.46 - Equipment

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) The hammer
				  shall travel freely in the leads. The cushion or cap block shall be replaced,
				  if crushed. The hammer shall deliver its rated energy, and measurement shall be
				  made of the fall of the ram or other suitable data shall be observed at
				  intervals as required to verify the actual energy delivered.
(b) The cushion or cap block shall be of
				  solid block of hardwood with its grain parallel to the axis of the pile and
				  enclosed in a tight-fitting steel housing, or shall be an equivalent
				  assemblage. If laminated materials are used, the type and construction of these
				  materials shall be such that their strength is equal to, or greater than,
				  hardwood. Wood chips, pieces of rope, hose, shavings, or automobile tires and
				  similar materials shall not be used. Cap blocks shall be replaced if burned,

				  engineer, and only when necessary to accomplish such installations. Where
				  permitted, they shall be of steel or hardwood of such size, shape, length, and
				  weight as to permit driving the pile in the desired location and to the
				  required depth and resistance. The required driving resistance tabulated in
				  tables BA-617.3 and BA-617.4 shall be increased to compensate for the loss of
				  energy in the hammer blow. The follower shall be a single length section, shall
				  be provided with a socket or hood carefully fitted to the top of the pile to
				  minimize loss of energy and to prevent damage to the pile, and shall have
				  sufficient rigidity to prevent "whip" during driving.

New Jersey Administrative Code › Title 19 - OTHER AGENCIES › NEW JERSEY MEADOWLANDS COMMISSION › Chapter 6 - BUILDING CODE › Subchapter 2 - FOUNDATIONS › Section 19:6-2.47 - Procedures

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) Driving of
				  piles preliminary to final seating shall be continuous for an interval adequate
				  to break or prevent the development of freeze. The hammer shall be operated at
				  its rated speed during this interval.
(b) Jetting, augering and other methods of
				  preexcavation shall not be used unless permitted in writing by the architect or
				  engineer. When permitted, such procedures shall be carried out in a manner
				  which will not impair the carrying capacity of the piles already in place or
				  the safety of existing adjacent structures. Jetting or augering shall be
				  stopped at least three feet above the final expected pile-tip elevation and at
				  least three feet above the tip elevation of any pile previously driven within
				  six feet of the jet or auger, except that where piles are to be end bearing on
				  rock or hardpan, jetting or augering may be carried to the surface of the rock
				  or hardpan. Piles shall be carried down beyond the depth of jetting, augering
				  or other preexcavation until the required resistance is obtained. If there is
				  evidence that jetting or other procedures have disturbed the load-bearing
				  capacities of previously installed piles, those piles that have been disturbed
				  shall be restored to conditions meeting the requirements of this article by
				  redriving or by other methods acceptable to the architect or engineer.
				  Redriving or other remedial measures shall be instituted after the jetting or
				  other operations in the area have been completed.
(c) Individual piles and pile groups shall be
				  installed in such sequence that the carrying capacity of previously installed
				  piles is not reduced; the soil surrounding the piles is not compacted to the
				  extent that other piles in the group cannot be installed properly; and ground
				  movement that would damage adjacent buildings or utilities is prevented. In
				  general in any group, driving shall start from one side and proceed
				  progressively toward the other side of the group or shall start from the middle
				  and proceed toward the edges of the group.
(d) In soils in which the installation of
				  piles causes previously installed piles to heave, accurate level marks shall be
				  put on all piles immediately after installation, and all piles that have been
				  heaved by an amount in excess of 1/4 inch shall be redriven to the required
				  resistance.
(e) Penetration
				  measurements made for the purpose of determining resistance to driving shall
				  not be made when pile heads are damaged to an extent that may affect measured
				  penetration, nor shall they be made immediately after fresh cushion blocks have
				  been inserted under the striking part of the hammer.

(a) Materials
				  for precast concrete piles shall conform to the requirements of this
				  subchapter.
(b) Rules on
				  construction are:
1. Handling: Precast
				  concrete piles shall be proportioned, cast, cured, handled and driven so as to
				  resist the stresses induced by handling and driving as well as by loads.
				  Handling stresses shall be computed on the basis of 50 per cent of the weight
				  of the pile as an allowance for impact. Handling equipment shall be constructed
				  so as to equalize the reactions of the several lines of the pile pickups. The
				  allowable stresses for the loading conditions induced by handling and driving
				  shall be taken into consideration.
2. Dimensions: The minimum lateral dimension
				  of the pile shall be ten inches except for the taper at the tip.
3. Structural design: Piles shall be
				  proportioned in accordance with the provisions of section 42 of this subchapter
				  to the following additional requirements:
i.
				  For a length equal to at least three times the minimum lateral dimension at
				  each end of the pile, lateral tie reinforcement consisting of 0.225 inch
				  diameter rods or larger shall be spaced not more than three inches
				  center-to-center, or an equivalent spiral shall be provided. Elsewhere, the
				  spacing of the ties or the pitch of the spiral may be increased to 12 inches.
				  The minimum amount of longitudinal reinforcement shall be two per cent of the
				  concrete section placed in a symmetrical pattern of at least four bars. If
				  prestressed piles are used, the minimum residual compression in the pile
				  section shall be 700 psi. For piles designed with voids, the three inch spacing
				  of the ties or spiral at each end of the pile shall be extended for a distance
				  of 12 feet or one third the length of the pile, whichever is smaller.
ii. For piles designed with voids, the
				  minimum wall thickness of the concrete in any section of the piles shall be
				  four inches. Void may extend through either or both ends of the pile. If the
				  voids extend through the lower end of the piles, the pile head shall be vented
				  to prevent buildup of internal hydraulic pressure during driving.
iii. Reinforcing steel shall be covered with
				  at least 1- 1/2 inches of concrete on the surface against the ground.
4. Tolerances: Voids, when used,
				  shall be located within 3/8 inch of the position shown in the plans. The
				  maximum departure of the pile axis from a straight line, measured while the
				  pile is not subject to bending forces, shall not exceed 1/8 inch in ten feet or
				  3/8 inch in 40 feet or 0.1 per cent of the pile length.
5. Installation: Precast concrete piles shall
				  not be handled or driven until they have cured sufficiently to develop the
				  necessary strength.

				  Cast-in-place concrete piles shall be cast in shells previously installed in
				  the ground, or may be cast in an uncased hole. Cast-in-place piles may be
				  tapered or cylindrical, or in combination of tapered and cylindrical
				  shapes.
(b) Concrete for
				  cast-in-place concrete piles shall conform to the requirements of this
				  subchapter. Slump shall be five inches plus or minus one inch. Concrete of less
				  slump may be used only if continuous vibration is provided and records of
				  volumes placed vs. volume requirements indicate complete filling of piles.
				  Where the pile shell is assumed to contribute to the capacity of the pile as a
				  structural member, the shell shall be of metal and shall conform to the
				  provisions of section 54 of this subchapter. Where the pile shell is not
				  assumed to contribute to the capacity of the pile as a structural member, the
				  shell may be of any material that will adequately resist the driving stresses
				  and maintain an open well to receive the concrete. End closures for shells
				  shall not project more than one-half inch beyond the outer limits of the pile
				  when bearing in soils of class 6-65 or lower.
(c) Rules on installation are:
1. After installation to final depth and
				  immediately before filling with concrete, the inside of the tube, shell or bore
				  shall be thoroughly cleaned to the bottom and inspected by lowering a drop
				  light or by means of a light beam. To be accepted the pile shall be free of
				  collapsed sections of shell and the pile shell shall not show any tears; the
				  pile shall be free of water except that a minor amount of water may be allowed
				  to occur in the pile if it be absorbed by placing a suitable amount of dry
				  cement-sand mixture in the tip end of the pile; and the alignment of the pile
				  shall conform to the provisions of this subchapter. If the bottom of the casing
				  is out of sight, the shape and alignment of the casing shall be surveyed with a
				  suitable instrument, or the pile rejected.
2. Concrete shall be placed by such methods
				  that the entire volume of the tube, shell or bore is filled and in a manner
				  that will preclude separation of the ingredients.
3. No concrete shall be placed in a
				  cast-in-place pile until all piles within a radius of 15 feet or within the
				  heave range have been driven.
4.
				  Rejected pile shells shall be filled with concrete or sand.
5. The concrete cap shall not be placed until
				  at least one hour after all piles within the cap group are completely filled.

				  H piles having a thickness of metal less than 0.5 inch, which are driven to end
				  bearing rock of class 1-65 through 3-65 by an impact hammer, shall be
				  reinforced. The installation of all steel H piles by impact hammer to end
				  bearing on rock of classes 1-65 through 3-65 shall be under the personal
				  inspection of an architect or engineer and the operations of driving such
				  piles, the observations of penetration resistance, and the operation of the
				  equipment shall be conducted so as to terminate driving directly when the pile
				  reaches refusal on the rock surface.

				  foundation and the underlying soil, by passive earth pressure, by batter piles,
				  or by plumb piles, subject to the following:
1. The resistance to the lateral loads due to
				  passive earth pressure shall be discounted where the abutting soil could be
				  removed inadvertently by excavation.
2. In the case of pile-supported structures,
				  frictional resistance between the foundation and the underlying soil shall be
				  discounted.
3. The available
				  resistance to friction between the foundation and the underlying soil shall be
				  predicated on an assumed friction factor of 0.5 for soils of classes 1-65
				  through 8-65. A greater value of coefficient of friction may be used subject to
				  verification by analysis and test. For soils of poorer classes, the stability
				  shall be analyzed by accepted procedures of soil mechanics.

				  were made and were carried to the depths indicated; that, to the best of the
				  architect's or engineer's knowledge and belief, the description and
				  classification of the soils are a true description of the samples recovered
				  from the respective borings; that such samples were recovered at the levels
				  indicated; and that the boring work progressed in such manner that the samples
				  recovered are reasonably representative of the subsurface conditions.
