MP434U Push Pier 92 Tons Allowable Capacity
MAGNUM® MP434U Push Pier sections couple together with male-female slip connectors. High strength steel offers increased buckling resistance compared to others. A friction reduction collar can be added to the pile to increase penetration depth. Structural capacities are developed according to AISC 360 and ICCAC517 considering buckling of 5 ft unbraced length after 75 years of corrosion in moderate to high aggressive soils for various material coatings. Custom lengths are available upon request. See MAGNUM® Technical Manual for additional information.
Description
Push piers shall be installed to appropriate depth. This into suitable bearing stratum as determined by geotechnical engineer or local practice. For tension capacity, push pier sections must be welded together. A reinforcing steel bar and grout can be placed in the pile as an alternative.
Push pier geotechnical capacity is determined by load test using MAGNUM® Installation Rams or Lifting Kit. All push piers shall be load tested to 1.5 times the desired working load. Test load is limited by maximum safe operating ram pressure or buckling capacity of shaft, whichever is less.
