Piling experience in Melbourne area
Soils include deep deposits of soft estuarine silts and of stiffer silts, clays, sands and gravels; problems encountered include corrosion of steel and concrete in sulfate bearing soils, settlement of compressible soils which induces large loads on piles and large bending moments in raked piles, and problem of designing friction piles for both downward and upward loads; concrete filled steel shell piles, prestressed concrete piles, steel H-piles and steel rail piles were used; Hiley formula, supplemented by calculations of static friction capacity and by load tests, was used as control of load capacity; results of number of load tests on piles are given.
