Recommendations on Piling (EA Pfähle)

About this book

This handbook provides a complete and detailed overview of piling systems and their application. The design and construction of piled foundations is based on Eurocode 7 and DIN 1054 edition 2010 as well as the European construction codes DIN EN 1536 (Bored piles), DIN EN 12699 (Displacement piles) and DIN EN 14199 (Micropiles). These recommendations also deal with
- categorisation of piling systems,
- actions on piles from structural loading, negative skin friction and side pressure,
- pile resistances from static and dynamic pile test loading as well as extensive tables with the pile load-bearing capacity of nearly all piling systems based on values from practical experience,
- pile groups,
- performance of static and dynamic test loading and integrity tests,
- load-bearing behaviour and verifications for piles under cyclical, dynamic and impact actions
- quality assurance for construction.
An appendix with numerous calculation examples completes the work.
As part of the approval procedure for offshore wind energy structures, the Federal Office for Shipping and Hydrography (BSH) demands verifications according to the new Chapter 13 ("Load-bearing behaviour and verifications for piles under cyclical, dynamical and impact actions") of the EA Pfahle (the recommendations of the Piling working group - 2nd edition), which deals with external pile resistance for the foundations of offshore wind energy structures and the types of verifications to be provided under cyclical actions.
The publication of the EA-Pfahle recommendations by the Piling working group of the German Society for Geotechnics (DGGT), which works with the same members as the piling standards committee NA 00-05-07, is intended to provide assistance for engineers active in the design, calculation and construction of piled foundations. The recommendations can thus be considered as rules of the technology and as a supplement to the available codes and standards.

Preface of the English Version of the Recommendations of the Piling Committee of the German Geotechnical Society
(1) The present English version of the Recommendations of the Piling Committee of the German Geotechnical Society (Empfehlungen des Arbeitskreises „Pfähle“ – EA-Pfähle), is with a few exceptions a direct and complete translation of the 2nd edition 2012 of the German original. Even in case that some issues and, in particular, references might internationally not be known as in Germany, this approach was taken in order not to permit differing provisions between the German and this English version, if the latter is used in German speaking countries. It might also be possible that contractual or legal problems could arise between German and English speaking users if they could refer to a not identical translation.
(2) As outlined in Section 1, Germany has published the German language versions of the European design (e.g. Eurocode 7) and execution standards (e.g. EN 1536, EN 12699, etc.). So was EN 1997-1:2004-11: Eurocode 7: Geotechnical design – Part 1: General rules published in Germany as DIN EN 1997-1:2009-09: Eurocode 7: Entwurf, Berechnung und Bemessung in der Geotechnik – Teil 1: Allgemeine Regeln.
(3) For application in Germany, the standard DIN EN 19...
