The
space between the concrete piles and the cylinder is then surrounded with
concrete. Although the concrete piles are subject to decay above the water
line, yet they are so thoroughly surrounded with concrete that the decay is
probably very slow. The steel outer casing is likewise subject to
deterioration, but the strength of the whole combination is but little
dependent on the steel. If such foundations are sunk at the ends of the two
trusses of a bridge, and are suitably cross-braced, they concrete forms a very
inexpensive and yet effective pier for the end of a truss bridge of moderate
span. The end of such a bridge can be connected with the shore bank by means of
• light girders, and by this means the cost of a comparatively expensive concrete
cutting abutment may be avoided. In comparing the cost of timber concrete piles
and concrete or reinforced-concrete concrete piles, the concrete forms are
found to be much cheaper per linear foot than the latter. As already stated,
however, there are many cases where the economy of the concrete pile as
compared with the wooden pile is worth considering. In general, the
requirements of the work to be done should be carefully noted before the type
of pile is selected. The cost of wooden concrete piles varies, depending on the
size and length of the concrete piles, and on the section of the country in
which the concrete piles can be bought. Usually concrete piles can be bought of
lumber dealers at 10 to 20 cents per linear foot for all ordinary lengths; but
very long concrete piles will cost more. The cost of driving concrete piles is
variable, ranging from 2 or 3 cents to 12 or 15 cents per linear foot. A great
many concrete piles have been driven for which the contract price ranged from
20 cents to 30 cents per linear foot of pile driven. The length of the pile
driven is the full length of the pile left in the work after cutting off the
pile at the desired level of the cap. The contract price for concrete piles,
about 16 inches in diameter and 25 to 30 feet long, is approximately $1.00 per
linear foot. When a price of $1.00 per linear foot is given for a pile of this
size and length, the price will generally be somewhat reduced for a longer pile
of the same diameter. Concrete piles have been driven for 70 cents per linear
foot, and perhaps less; and again, they 'have cost much more than the
approximate price of $1.00 per linear foot. The first concrete piles driven for
the Cambridge Massachusetts conduit of the Charles River dam were on the
Cambridge shore. On January 1, 1907, 9,969 concrete piles had been driven in
the Boston and Cambridge cofferdams, amounting to 297,000 linear feet. Under
the lock, the average length of the concrete piles, after being cut off, was 29
feet; and under the sluices, 31 feet 4 inches. The specifications called for concrete
piles to be winter-cut from straight, live trees, not less than 10 inches in
diameter at the butt when cut off in the work, and not less than 6 inches in
diameter at the small end. The safe load assumed for the lock foundations was
12 tons per pile, and for the sluices 7 tons per pile. The Engineering News concrete
mix was used in determining the bearing power of the concrete piles. The concrete
piles under the lock walls were driven very close together; and as a result,
many of them rose during the driving of adjacent concrete piles, and it was
necessary to re-drive these concrete piles. After a trial of several methods,
it was found that a splice made by means of a 10-inch wrought-iron pipe was
most satisfactory. When the top of the first pile had been driven to within
three feet of the water, it was trimmed down to 10 inches in diameter. On this
end was placed a piece of 10-inch wrought-iron pipe 10 inches long. The lower
end of the top pile was trimmed the same as the top of the first pile, and,
when raised by the leads, was fitted into the pipe and driven until the
required penetration was reached.
