Abstract
An anti-jacking pile solution particularly suited for use in permafrost or cold regions. The pile includes bond breaking material for preventing frozen soil from directly gripping a pile near the surface of the soil and pulling the pile upward. A collar is attached to the pile to prevent damage and/or displacement of the bond breaking material during driving of the pile. The pile may be attached to a building by way of an adjustable connection system allowing for future adjustments in the event of vertical movement.
Claims15
An anti-jacking pile system comprising;
- a) a pile of sufficient length to extend from a predetermined point above ground to a location below ground such that a building can be supported by said pile;
- b) said pile having an outside surface and including a layer of bond breaking material surrounding a portion of said outside surface of said pile and preventing soil surrounding said pile from contacting said portion;
- c) a collar located on said pile adjacent to said bond breaking material and extending below said bond breaking material, said collar being of greater thickness than said bond breaking material,
- d) whereby, said pile may be driven into the ground with said bond breaking attached thereto without damaging said bond breaker.
A method of installing an anti-jacking pile system, comprising the steps of;
- a) wrapping a section of outer surface of a pile with a bond breaking material, said section having an upper end and a lower end;
- b) attaching a collar at location adjacent said bond breaking material at said lower end of said section and further attaching said collar directly to said outer surface of a pile;
- c) driving said pile into soil a sufficient depth to act as a support for a building.
An anti-jacking pile comprising;
- a) a steel pipe of sufficient length to extend from a predetermined point above ground to a location below ground such that a building can be supported by said pipe;
- b) said pipe having an outside surface and including a layer of bond breaking material surrounding a portion of said outside surface of said pipe and preventing soil surrounding said pile from contacting said portion;
- c) a collar located on said pipe adjacent to said bond breaking material and extending below said bond breaking material, said collar being of greater thickness than said bond breaking material,
- d) whereby, said pipe may be driven into the ground with said bond breaking material attached thereto without damaging said bond breaking material.
