The Formula Explained
The capacity of a helical pile is calculated using the formula:
Capacity = π × (Helix Diameter/2)^2 × Soil Capacity
Glossary of Terms
- Pile Diameter: The diameter of the pile shaft.
- Helix Diameter: The diameter of the helical plate.
- Soil Capacity: The bearing capacity of the soil in pounds per square foot (psf).
Frequent Questions
What is a helical pile?
A helical pile is a deep foundation solution used to secure new or repair existing foundations.
How is the capacity affected by soil type?
