ABSTRACT: Working in urban environments presents unique logistical challenges beyond those typically associated with traditional geotechnical analysis and design. This paper describes the construction, design and quality control details including load testing of Ductile Iron Piles - an innovative piling system used in Europe for decades. Project applications and system benefits are also described. The paper presents practical examples of North American projects where the system provided economic, construction and technical advantages.
RÉSUMÉ: Travailler en milieu urbain présente des défis logistiques uniques supérieurs à ceux habituellement associés à l'analyse et à la conception de la géotechnique traditionnelle. Ce document décrit la construction, la conception et les détails de contrôle de la qualité, y compris des tests de chargement de pieux en fonte - un système innovateur utilisé en Europe pendant des décennies. Les applications de projet et les avantages du système sont également décrits. Le document présente aussi des exemples concrets de projets en Amérique du Nord, où le système fournissait des avantages économiques, techniques ainsi qu™en construction.
