Execution of special geotechnical work - Bored piles

This European Standard establishes general principles for the construction of piles
- which are formed in the ground by excavation and
- which contain a structural member to transfer loads and or limit deformations.
It covers
- piles with circular shape and
- piles with barrette shape, provided the section is concreted in a single operation

Ausführung von Arbeiten im Spezialtiefbau - Bohrpfähle

1.1 Diese Europäische Norm enthält allgemeine Grundlagen für die Herstellung von Bohrpfählen
(siehe 3.2), die durch Bodenaushub hergestellt werden, und die ein tragendes Bauglied darstellen, um
Einwirkungen zu übertragen und/oder Verformungen zu begrenzen.
1.2 Diese Europäische Norm gilt für Bohrpfähle mit kreisförmigem Querschnitt (siehe Bild 1) und für
Bohrpfähle, die als Schlitzwandelemente (siehe 1.3 und 3.3) ausgebildet sind, unter der Voraussetzung, dass
der Querschnitt in einem Arbeitsgang betoniert wird.
ANMERKUNG In dieser Norm wird der Begriff „Pfahl" für Pfähle mit kreisrundem Querschnitt und der Begriff
-Schlitzwandelement" für Pfähle mit anderen Formen gebraucht. In beiden Fällen handelt es sich um Bohrpfähle.

- teleskopartig veränderlichen Schaftabmessungen;
- ausgehobener Fußaufweitung; oder
- ausgehobener Schaftaufweitung
(siehe Bild 3).
ANMERKUNG Die Gestalt des Pfahlfußes oder einer Fußaufweitung hängt von dem für den Aushub benutzten
Werkzeug ab.

La présente norme européenne définit les principes généraux pour l'exécution de pieux forés (voir 3.2) :
NOTE 1 La présente norme couvre les pieux ou barrettes qui sont exécutés en place et qui sont des éléments
structurels permettant de transférer des actions et/ou de limiter des déformations.
NOTE 2 La présente norme s'applique aux pieux de section circulaire (voir Figures 1 et A.1 a)) et aux barrettes (voir
3.3) de section rectangulaire, en T ou en L ou de tout autre section similaire (voir Figure 2), bétonnés en une seule
opération.
NOTE 3 Dans la présente norme, le terme « pieux » est utilisé pour les structures à section circulaire et le terme
« barrette » pour les autres formes. Dans les deux cas, il s’agit de pieux forés.

4 Foreword This document (EN 1536:2010) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 288 “Execution of special geotechnical works”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by March 2011, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by March 2011. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 1536:1999. The general scope of TC 288 is the standardisation of the execution procedures for geotechnical works (including testing and control methods) and of the required material properties. WG15 has been charged to revise EN 1536:1999, with the subject area of bored piles, including barrettes, but not "micro piles" of diameter less than 0,3 m. The design, planning and execution of bored piles call for experience and knowledge in this specialised field. The execution phase requires skilled and qualified personnel and the present standard cannot replace the expertise of specialist contractor. The document has been prepared to complement EN 1997-1, Eurocode 7: Geotechnical design
Part 1: General rules and EN 1997-2, Eurocode 7
Geotechnical design
Part 2: Ground investigation and testing. Clause 7 "Considerations related to design" of this European Standard expands on design only where necessary (e.g. the detailing of reinforcement), but provides full coverage of the construction and supervision requirements. This standard contains additional requirements on concrete complementing the respective provisions of EN 206-1 and of EN 13670. The three standards are not yet fully accorded. It is anticipated that during future revisions several provisions now contained in EN 1536:2010, e.g. in 6.1, 6.3, 8.3 and 8.4 could be transferred to EN 206-1 and EN 13670. The document has been revised by a working group comprising delegates from eleven European countries and the comments from ten European countries have been received and taken into account. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

EN 1536:2010 (E) 5 1 Scope 1.1 This European Standard establishes general principles for the execution of bored piles (see 3.2).
NOTE 1 This standard covers piles or barrettes which are formed in the ground by excavation and are structural members used to transfer actions and/or limit deformations.
NOTE 2 This standard covers piles with circular cross-section (see Figures 1 and A.1a)) and barrettes (see 3.3) with rectangular, T or L or any other similar cross-section (see Figure 2) concreted in a single operation.
NOTE 3 In the standard the term pile is used for circular cross-section structure and the term barrette for other shapes. Both are bored piles.

This European Standard applies to bored piles (see Figure 3) with:  uniform cross-section (straight shaft);  telescopically changing shaft dimensions;
 excavated base enlargements; or  excavated shaft enlargements. NOTE
The shape of a pile base and of an enlargement depends on the tool used for the excavation. SIST EN 1536:2011

This European Standard applies (see Note) to:
 bored piles with a depth to width ratio ≥ 5;  piles (see Figures 1 and 3) with a shaft diameter 0,3 m ≤ D ≤ 3,0 m;  barrettes (see Figure 2) with the least dimension Wi ≥ 0,4 m, a ratio LBiB / Wi between its largest and its least dimensions ≤ 6 and a cross-sectional area A ≤ 15 m²;  piles with circular precast elements used as structural member (see Figure 7) with a least dimension DP ≥ 0,3 m;  barrettes with rectangular precast elements used as structural member with a least dimension WP ≥ 0,3 m.
NOTE The standard covers a large range of diameters. For small diameter bored piles less than 450 mm, the general specification can be adapted to cater for the lack of space (e.g. minimum bars number and spacing). 1.4
This European Standard applies to piles with the following rake (see Figure 4):  n ≥ 4 (Θ ≥ 76°);  n ≥ 3 (Θ ≥ 72°) for permanently cased piles.
1.5 This European Standard applies to bored piles with the following dimensions of the shaft or base enlargements (see Figure 3): a) base enlargements: 1) in non-cohesive ground: DB / D ≤ 2; 2) in cohesive ground: DB / D ≤ 3; b) shaft enlargements in any ground: DE / D ≤ 2; SIST EN 1536:2011

The provisions of this European Standard apply to:  single bored piles;  bored pile groups (see Figure 5);  walls formed by piles (see Figure 6).

The bored piles which are the subject of this European Standard can be excavated by continuous or discontinuous methods using support methods for stabilizing the excavation walls where required. 1.8
This European Standard applies only to construction methods that allow the designed cross-sections to be produced. 1.9
The provisions apply to bored piles (see Figure 7) constructed of:  unreinforced (plain) concrete;  reinforced concrete;  concrete reinforced by means of special reinforcement such as steel tubes, steel sections or steel fibres;  precast concrete (including prestressed concrete) elements or steel tubes where the annular gap between the element or tube and the ground is filled by concrete, cement or cement-bentonite grout.
