Abstract

Helical piles have become popular foundation option owing to their many advantages related to ease of installation and large load carrying capacity. They are typically manufactured of straight steel shafts fitted with one or more helices and are installed using mechanical torque. They can sustain static and dynamic loading and are increasingly used in applications that induce complex loading conditions on them. The behavior and design of single vertical helical piles subjected to static loading is well investigated. However, a few studies investigated the dynamic or seismic behavior of single helical piles and their group behavior. This paper presents recent advances in evaluating the axial and lateral capacity and performance of helical piles and their response to dynamic and seismic loads.
