Structural Steel Pipes Piling Bridge Port Cold Formed Steel Construction Fabrication ASTM A252

ASTM A252 Standard Structural Steel Pipes Piling Bridge / Port Constructions

Deep foundations are required when the shallow soils are not strong enough to support the loads from the structure. Pipe piles are commonly used in deep foundations and transfer the loads from building to stronger soil layers found deep underground. The loads are resisted through skin friction and point bearing. Pipe can be driven either open-ended or closed-ended, with points or plates. If driven with plates, the pipes can then be filled with concrete to add strength to the pile. Usually the money spent on plates, rebar, and concrete would be better spent on a larger, thicker pile. Pipe piles range in size from several inches to several feet in diameter and can be easily spliced to create piles hundreds of feet in length.

Steel pipe piles are widely used in ports/harbors (piers, seawalls, and breakwaters), urban civil engineering (earth-retaining walls and cofferdams), bridges (foundations for steel pipe sheet pile foundations), and other applications, along with widening their applications due to enlargement of the structures sizes, growth of water depth for the structures and increase in construction work at sites where the bearing strata are deep under thick soft ground.

Famous offer a range of different profiles to suit your demands and these steel pipe piles can be supplied in various diameters, wall thicknesses and lengths in accordance with ASTM standards.

Features and advantages

1. Large vertical-bearing capacity

By driving the pipe piles into firm bearing layers, they exhibit a large vertical-bearing capacity.

2. High bending strength
