Concrete Compressive Strength at release of prestressing:

4000 psi minimum

Uniform compression after prestressing losses:

1000 psi minimum

Pick-up, Storage and Transportation:

0.0 psi tension with 1.5 times pile self weight

Types "B1", "B2", "C1" & "C2"

Bottom of Dim. X

Pick-up, Storage and Transportation:

Minimum compressive strength fci = 4000 psi required.

and Filter Fabric

ENVIRONMENT:
The pile designs are applicable to all Environments.

PLASTIC FILTER FABRIC:
(Showing Plastic Filter Fabric)

The plastic filter fabric shall extend to the bottom of the "X" dimension.

PILE PICK-UP AND HANDLING:

Type "A"

Grout (Typ.) (See Specifications)

Pick-up of pile may be either a single point pick-up or a two point pick-up as shown below.
Types "B1", "B2", "C1" & "C2"

C:

2-6"

Two point pick-up for lifting out of forms & two point support for storage & transportation.
Type "A" (Typ.)

Single point pick-up for installation only.

PILE FIT-UP:

90

The 2-6" Sheet Pile dimension is nominal. This dimension may be shortened by the Manufacturer up to b" to
allow for Sheet Pile fit-up in its final position. Minimum Sheet Pile width is 2-5b". No changes shall be made
to the tongues or grooves.
