Augered Cast-In-Place Piles Manual, Third Edition, 2016
2016 Augered Cast-In-Place Pile Committee, DFI 2016
Augered Cast-in-Place Pile (ACIP) Committee
Soft cover, 68 pgs., illustrated, 6"x9" saddle-stitched
This document is an update to Deep Foundations Institute (DFI)
Augered Cast-in-Place (ACIP) Pile Committee’s ACIP Pile Manual
(Model Specification) (2003 version). The Guideline Specification
and Commentary content have been updated to address current
trends in ACIP Pile installation and quality control, the use of
increased ACIP pile diameters and lengths to provide significantly
higher load carrying capacities, and the challenges associated with
the use of grout and reinforcement necessary to sustain such higher
loading. The order of the Guideline Specification has been revised
to more closely match the format typically utilized in project
specifications. This document is intended to provide the industry
with practical guidance in the preparation of a project-specific
specification.

Guideline for Interpretation of Nondestructive Integrity
Testing of Augered Cast-in-Place and Drilled
Displacement Piles
2011 Augered Cast-In-Place Pile Committee, Mike Moran,
Chair and Editor; Tracy Brettmann, Principal Author; Bernard
Hertlein, Matthew Meyer, Bria Whitmire, Co-Authors
39 pgs., illustrated. Available in PDF on Flashdrive or NOW
AVAILABLE Printed Manual 6"x9" (Since March 2016)
This guideline provides practical guidance for the interpretation of
nondestructive testing (NDT) of the integrity of augered cast-in-
place (ACIP) and drilled displacement (DD) piles. Every NDT
method has specific associated capabilities and limitations, and
ACIP and DD piles have unique properties that must be considered
when using a specific NDT method for a project. For successful
interpretation, it is essential that the test results not be utilized
alone, but in conjunction with all the available information on pile
installation, as well as consideration of the subsurface conditions,
past experiences and sound engineering judgment. This guideline
supplements DFI’s two primary publications on ACIP piles:
Augered Cast-in-Place Pile Manual (2016) and the Inspector’s
Guide for Augered Cast-in-Place Piles (2010). This guideline was
developed to provide 1) more detailed explanations of the various
test methods available, 2) guidance on interpretation of the results,
and 3) some typical examples of the data and interpretation.

Augered Cast-In-Place Piles Inspector's Guide, Second
Edition, 2010
DFI Augered Cast-In-Place Pile Committee (2006-2010), Chris
D. Shewmaker, Past Chair and Editor
PDF, 40 pgs., illustrated
This publication is a guide to the inspection of Augered Cast-In-
Place Piles (ACIP) and a companion document to the DFI Augered
Cast-In-Place Piles Manual. The manual, updated from the original
version published in 1994, summarizes the requirements expected
of all parties concerned in the successful installation of these piles
and now includes information on Automated Monitoring
Equipment (AME) and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT). Step by
step installation procedures, construction equipment and
inspection tools are discussed along with the common potential
problems. Sample inspection forms are also provided. The manual
provides guidelines for observing and documenting the installation
of ACIP piles constructed using a hollow stem continuous flight
auger and may also serve as a guide for the training of inspection
personnel. This document is not intended to cover all project
related issues; however, the intent is to outline the expectations for
personnel involved in ACIP Pile installation and monitoring. These
expectations along with a thorough subsurface exploration
program, a quality specification, an experienced contractor and
knowledgeable inspector can lead to a successful ACIP Pile project.

Seismic and Lateral Load Design and Testing Guidelines
DFI Seismic and Lateral Loads Committee (2011-2012),
Chaired by Mark Petersen and Zia Zafir (2003-2009); Robert
Kruger, Guideline Editor
Bookmarked PDF on Flash drive, 68 pgs., illustrated
This guidance document is intended to assist geotechnical
engineers, pile designers, and contractors in analysis, design, and
testing of piles and drilled shafts for lateral loads. Although
analysis of lateral response of piles and shafts is routinely
performed, there is no single guidance document and/or standard
for design and testing. Several different analytical methods are
available for the analysis and the resulting design can result in
significantly different responses which can create confusion. Over
the years, analysis of response of piles due to lateral loads evolved
from closed-form solutions to py methods to strain wedge to finite
element/finite difference modeling. This is especially true for
analyzing and designing piles in potentially liquefiable soils with
lateral spread issues under seismic conditions. This document
discusses the background of different analytical and testing
procedures and presents the recommended methods for analysis,
design and testing of piles for lateral loads.

Soil Nailing Guide Specification, First Edition, 2010
DFI Tiebacks & Soil Nailing Committee (2006-2010),
Jonathan K. Bennett, PE, D.GE, Past Chair and Editor
Soft cover, 40 pgs., illustrated, 6"x9" saddle-stitched
This guide, a result of the work of the Tiebacks and Soil Nailing
Committee of the Deep Foundations Institute (DFI) with review by
the Anchored Earth Retention Committee of the ADSC: The
International Association of Foundation Drilling and the Technical
Activities Committee of DFI, is intended for general use primarily
in the private market, since the public sector is typically served by
the Federal Highway Administration design and construction
guidelines. The model spec encompasses all designs, materials,
products, accessories, installation techniques and testing
procedures required for the installation of soil nail excavation
support or earth retention systems. Its purpose is to assist in the
development of project specifications for soil nail earth excavation
support and earth retention systems and is based on generally
accepted industry standards but may require modification by the
specification writer to accommodate unusual or unforeseen site
and subsurface conditions and the particular circumstances of the
project. In this regard, the Committee hopes that the Guide will be
of use where other design and construction guidelines do not exist
or in the development of building code provisions for Soil Nailing
in the various Building Codes nationwide.
