Abstract
New technologies have been developed recently that add to the QC option available for auger cast piles. Four transportation applications will be discussed: bridge foundation including abutments, retaining structures (secant or tangent pile walls), column-supported embankments over soft ground, and sound walls. Emphasis will be placed on the installation process, QC during installation, quality assurance after installation, and the common misperceptions. The presentation will include one case history for a 12-floor building in downtown Fort Wayne, Indiana, showing the design for 47 auger cast piles as one group.
