ACIP Pile RequestACIP: Summary
• Augered Cast-in-Place (ACIP) foundations are a proven foundation system in South Florida
• Pressured grout providing a strong bond to cemented sand and weak limestone formations
• Neighboring the Signature Bridge a variety of public and private projects have been founded on ACIP
• Skin friction values as high as order of 20 ksf
• Seek FDOT approval for use
• MSP required for installationMarquis Miami founded on ACIP

Axial Pile DesignGeotechnical Design Challenges
• High Compression loads (~1,900 tons nominal at center pier)(solution: bi-directional load testing and SPT/coring)
• Large Uplift loads (>500 tons)(solution: bi-directional load testing and SPT/coring)
• Differential Settlements bet. Center Piers and Arches(solution: SPT/coring, pressuremeter)
• Magnitude of lateral load due to arch shape(solution: pressuremeter testing and lateral load testing)

Axial Pile Design- Final design based on 4 bi-directional load tests
(11 total for whole project)
- Rock cores used to derive rock side shear values
- Statistical analyses to develop correlations

Lateral Load Test ProgramGeotechnical objectives of the lateral load test program were to:
1. Confirm if soil/rock parameters used for lateral model in FB-MultiPiersoftware are appropriate
2. Perform 24-hour hold during the load test program to determine if additional softening of soil/rock parameters needs to be considered due to creep effects

QC/QA Production Piles
• Use of FDOT developmental 455 specifications for auger cast piles including bridges
• Use of automated monitoring equipment (AME)
• Experienced inspectors filling out FDOT logs independent of AME
• Use of Thermal Integrity Profiling on each pile
• Dynamic load test for proof load test
![Page 26: Design and Construction of Auger-Cast Piles for the ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021804/620d5ed90bfef3073f5b2569/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

QC/QA Production Piles• Proof load testing performed at each pier to
factored design load
• Good correlation between dynamic load test and equivalent head-down curves from bi-directional load tests

QC/QA Production Piles
• Detection of anomalies
• Estimate of pile diameter vs depth
• Estimate of grout cover vs depth
