1.4 DEFINITIONS

A. A partial list follows:

1. Bearing Stratum: The soil or highly weathered rock layer that provides the axial tension resistance for the installed helical pile.

2. Brackets: Cap plate, angle, thread bar, or other termination device that is bolted or welded to the end of a helical pile after completion of installation to facilitate attachment to structures or embedment in cast-in-place concrete.

3. Crowd: Axial compressive force or pressure applied to the helical pile as needed during installation to ensure the pile advances into the ground a minimum of 80% of the distance equal to the helix pitch for each revolution.

4. Deflection: The axial displacement of the pile as measured at the pile head under applied load.

5. Effective Torsional Resistance: The average installation torque typically taken over a distance equal to the last three diameters of penetration of the largest helix plate as close to or in the specified bearing stratum.

6. Extension Section: Helical pile component connecting the lead section to the load transfer device. Extension sections may be plain without helix plates or helical including one or more helix plates.

7. Factored Load: Service load times the required load factor.

8. Geotechnical Capacity: The maximum load that can be resisted through the bearing of the helix plates in the soil or highly weathered rock in which they are embedded as characterized by the available subsurface soils, rock and groundwater information, and geotechnical testing data, without exceeding the specified performance criteria.

9. Helical Pile: Consists of one or more helix plates attached to a central shaft and load transfer device for attachment to a structure. May also include surface coating or other corrosion protection means.

VA Project 636A6-21-109

31 26 00 - 4

10. Helical Anchor: Same as a Helical Pile. Term generally used when axial tension is the primary service load.

11. Helix Plate (Helices): Generally round steel plate formed into a helical spiral and welded to the central steel shaft.

12. Installation Angle: Angle of inclination between the longitudinal axis of the helical pile and the horizontal.

13. Lead Section: The first helical pile component installed into the soil. It consists of one or more helical plates welded to the central steel shaft.

14. Limit State: A condition beyond which a helical pile component or interface becomes no longer useful for its intended function

(serviceability limit state) or to be unsafe (strength limit state).

15. Loads: Forces or other actions as defined that must be resisted by the piles. Permanent loads are those loads in which variations over time are rare or of small magnitude. All other loads are variable loads. Refer also to Service Load below.

16. Load Factor: A factor that accounts for deviations of the actual load from the service load (load resistance factor design).

17. Load Test: A procedure to test the capacity and relation of load to deflection by applying a compression, tension, and/or lateral load on the helical pile.

18. Mechanical Strength: The maximum compressive, tension, and/or lateral load capable of being resisted by the structural elements of a helical pile.

19. Pile Design Professional: Individual or firm responsible for the design of helical piles, helical anchors, and brackets.

20. Reveal: The distance from ground surface to the end of the last installed extension of a pile, measured along the pile's longitudinal axis.

21. Pitch: The distance measured along the axis of the shaft between the leading and trailing edges of the helix plate.

22. Safety Factor: The ratio of the ultimate resistance to the service load used…
