An unbiased, comprehensive review of helical pile technology and applications

Helical piles have risen from being merely an interesting alternative for special cases to a frequently requested, more widely accepted deep foundation adopted into the 2009 International Building Code. The first alternative to manufacturer-produced manuals, Howard Perko's Helical Piles: A Practical Guide to Design and Installation answers the industry's need for an unbiased and universally applicable text dedicated to the design and installation of helical piles, helical piers, screw piles, and torque anchors.

Fully compliant with ICC-Evaluation Services, Inc., Acceptance Criteria for Helical Foundation Systems and Devices (AC358), this comprehensive reference guides construction professionals to manufactured helical pile systems and technology, providing objective insights into the benefits of helical pile foundations over driven or cast foundation systems, and recommending applications where appropriate. After introducing the reader to the basic features, terminology, history, and modern applications of helical pile technology, chapters discuss:

Installation and basic geotechnics
Bearing and pullout capacity
Capacity verification through torque
Axial load testing, reliability, and sizing
Expansive soil and lateral load resistance
Corrosion and life expectancy
Foundation, earth retention, and underpinning systems
Foundation economics
Select proprietary systems
IBC and NYC Building codes

Covering such issues of concern as environmental sustainability, Helical Piles provides contractors and engineers as well as students in civil engineering with a practical, real-world guide to the design and installation of helical piles.

EXCELLENT PUBLICATION

May 18, 2010

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I must congratulate Howard Perko on his recent publication. In my opinion, it is the first publication that covers all aspects of helical steel screw piles in a manner that is straight forward, practical and based on experience but at the same time carries the academic creditability of a reference book.
During the course of ten year business specialising in screw piles in New Zealand we have completed over 350 static compression load tests and a similar number of tension tests. Howard Perko's book generally supports most of the design criteria, test results and installation methods we have tried and tested. This book goes a long way to elevating helical screw piles to an internationally recognised main line piling system.

Piles of knowledge

June 23, 2013

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I knew nothing about helical piles/piers prior to exploring the feasibility of building a house down in Panama. Helical piles/piers make total sense to me now as a foundation. The book that Howard Perko wrote is full of information, and most of it so technical I can't really follow it. However, it gives the novice plenty of information that is quite interesting.

Helical Piles a Practical Guide to Design and Installation

November 17, 2009

Format: Hardcover

This book is well written and easy to read. The book contains everything from basic geotechnical principles to advanced theory for determining the capacity of helical piles.

The book provides easy to follow examples, photos, drawings, and includes a splash of geotechnical humor.

This book is a valuable tool for any engineer but is invaluable to the foundation engineer. The book includes a variety of tables to aid in the design of the piles. The book covers every aspect of helical piles, from design to installation, and testing.

I highly recommend this book.

Howard Perko does a great job in his book with mixing experience,along with common sense,into his approach on helical piles.The pictures are a great addition as they tend to tell the info he is trying to convey. This book is also loaded with great refrences.Great job Howard.

Format: Hardcover

Any engineer, contractor or project owner considering helical piles as a deep foundation would be well served to purchase this book. The author's writing style makes this an easy read whether you are new to helicals or have been using/designing with them for years. Highly recommended!
