A modern technique by which pre-formed piles (e.g. Prestressed Spun Piles, Precast RC Piles, H-Piles, Steel Pipe Piles) are hydraulically jacked into the ground as displacement piles
Installation Process
Installation Process
Your Partner In Ground Engineering
Pile is jacked into the ground with a jack-in force adjusted in steps up to between 1.8 times - 2.5 times working load Jacking will continue until practical refusal where jack-in force is released and reapplied twice Downward movement of the pile between the two cycles is then measured and checked against the set criteria
Environmental Friendly Low Noise Vibration Free Minimal Spoils Disposal Able to achieve Good Verticality Lower Risk of machine toppling as compared with conventional leader type machines Every pile is jacked up to between 1.8 times - 2.5 times working load

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS DESIGN PARAMETERS EVALUATION BASED ON INSTRUMENTATION RESULTS (Case Study : Old Alluvium Formation) JACK-IN PILE PERFORMANCE USING DIFFERENT JACK-IN FORCE DURING INSTALLATION (Case Study : Tuas South Avenue - Jurong Formation)
Structural Considerations
Qa = 0.25 (fcu fpe) * Ac Qa : Allowable structural axial capacity fcu : Compressive strength of concrete at 28 days fpe : Effective prestress in concrete Ac : Cross-sectional area of concrete
Geotechnical Considerations
Ultimate geotechnical capacity is determined by : Static formula on the basis of soil test Termination criteria using resistance measured during pile installation Verify performance of piles designed by above methods using static load test For quality control purpose, PDA and PIT are also carried out
Shaft Resistance : fs = Ks.N; Ks = 2 to 5 ; (limiting to 200kPa) Base Resistance: qb= Kb.40.N; Kb = 6 to 9 ; (limiting to 18,000kPa for soil) For rock, qb = lesser of strength of pile material and unconfined compressive strength of rock
Factor of Safety : Shaft Resistance = 2.5 Base Resistance = 2.5 Ks and Kb are related to the characteristics of soil & method of installation Higher value of Ks and Kb may be adopted if substantiated by sufficient instrumented load test in similar soil condition
Wide variations in termination (set) criteria for jacked piles Min jacked force = K x design working load (K varies between 1.8 to 2.5) Holding time = 30~60 seconds Max allowable settlement of 20mm for 2 or more consecutive cycles In Singapore context, termination criteria using min jacked force of 2 x WL and set criteria of 20mm between two jack cycles is commonly adopted Final acceptance criteria for the installed piles need to be verified by static pile load test

Bored Pile
No residual pressure at pile base during installation End-bearing could only be mobilized at relatively large displacement Significant residual pressure at pile base during installation (higher than driven pile) Higher end bearing could be mobilized at small displacement

Conclusions(1)
Your Partner In Ground Engineering
Instrumented load tests have verified that : Qu of pile > Calculated Qu adopted from driven pile Qu of pile > JIF Piles installed by JIF of 1.5~2.25 x WL have adequate Qu & settlement within allowable criteria. Qu of Jack-in pile is a function of JIF and increases as JIF increases. All 3 test piles showed similar load-settlement behaviour up to 2xWL. Higher JIF could result in higher Qu but the use of JIF 1.5xWL is enough to ensure satisfactory pile performance up to 2xWL.
Conclusions(2)
Your Partner In Ground Engineering
JIF > 2xWL could be better but may not be necessarily needed. An appropriate JIF shall be established with the use of static load test. Subsequently all piles could be installed using this termination criteria. Jack-in pile installation results in a preloaded pile toe condition, hence better displacement performance. More future research would help to provide accurate design in the use of jack-in pile.
