To the other firms also contributing illustrative material bound in this thesis, general acknowledgement is here made. Specific references to these firms are to be found in the body of this work. 2749 1 To Michigan State College, where from.1911 to 1915 the author spent four very happy years; to Edward his older son, now a senior there, and to Robert, the younger, who will soon.matrioulate there, and who at the writing of this thesis lies dangerously hurt in a NeW'York hospital as a result of an accident on a construction job, this thesis is affectionately dedicated.

Under the existing method, the necessity of extending footings for heavy buildings below the sub-grade of the subway tunnels involved slow tedious work and ex- pensive construction. Under-pinning was necessary to relieve the excessive pressure on the tunnel walls, and to maintain the resisting value of the soil under adjacent footings which cause lateral pressures. 1. Error in judgment as to bearing value of soil is often the reason for high cost of building maintenance. Many 1. When open cuts or tunnel cuts are made along side of footings and to a depth below the bottoms of the footings, it is necessary to sheet the walls of the out to prevent lateral movement of the earth. EVen though it may be very carefully done, the installation of the sheeting disturbs the soil and thus much of the bearing value of the earth under the footing is lost. It is therefore always good practice to extend the under-pinning below the lowest point of out. 'When the entire proceedure is through rock or other materials of adequate bearing capacities which are not sub- ject to lateral movements when under pressure, no under- pinning is necessary. (1) r'-’IJDIU IL! times a contractor is called upon to install a foundation for a new project, part of which lies on bed rock, and the remainder on piles. In this case, to compensate for any variation in sustaining power, the foundation is gener- ally designed to sustain loads from 50% to 100% in excess of maximum conditions. In other cases there may be chang- ing water levels, due, for example, to construction of subway tunnels or tunnels for large sewers, which would result in lowering the old water level formerly considered permanent. In the case of steel piles, cut off may be made at any elevation, but it should be understood that the pro- tective oxide must not be removed. When iron rusts, the oxide formed on the outside completely protects the pile. If removed, new oxide forms reducing the net section of steel, until finally after repeated removal of this oxide we find a pit or a hole completely through the steel casing. If this casing is surrounded by earth the shell will last indefinitely. Consequently the bearing power of the pile will be sustained as long as this oxide is never removed. In the case of wood piles, however, changing water level may be a very serious matter. A wood pile will last indefinitely if completely submerged. Where complete immersion has been the history, piles have been inspected and found to be in perfect condition after hundreds of (2) years in service. A short time ago, an investigation was made on the American Aluminium Company dock at Edgewater, New Jersey, and it was found that below the low water level the piles were in perfect condition while above tide water they were almost coulpletely gone because of dry-rot. In a case of this sort it is necessary either to drive new piles or, starting from a point below that which has been affected, to splice the old ones. The author was asked recently to supply an under- pinning schedule for a Honeywell Avenue, New York City building which was supported on wood piles. A test pit below the footings under the walls revealed a serious case of dry-rot, which as previously explained, might be attrib- uted to the lowering of the water level by the construction of subway tunnels in the vicinity.- Although it was known this building had been settling it was thought that no serious change was imminent, until the front wall buckled and showered the entrance of this large apartment building with bricks. The test pits mentioned above indicated that virtually half the building foundation was inadequate due to dry-rot of the wood piles, and it was necessary, therefore, to under-pin it by the same system which will be described later in this thesis. Occasionally it is discovered that piles are over loaded. One such condition was found in a former swampy section in (3) the Borough of Queens, New York City. Here the foundations of seventeen one-famdly, attached buildings failed and caused considerable damage to the wells and ceilings of the structures. The author of this thesis was engaged as a consultant to investigate, report, and recommend method of procedure to arrest the settlement of the structures. In this case also, the same procedure discussed in this paper was suggested and carried out with entirely satisfactory results. The investi- gation in this case proved piles over loaded almost 100%. In addition to this, it was believed the piles had not been driven to the proper resistance. Plate Number 1 shows the detail of procedure and indicates position of new piles placed to arrest the settlement causing the damage. In.1930 the Rivoli Theatre in Rutherford, new Jersey with prosceniumuwall of 75' in height, was condemned when large cracks appeared in this and several other sections of the building. Here "Open-end" under-pinning piles 16' in diameter were used, and the procedure which will be outlined in this thesis was followed, except that no point was used on.the piles and the cleaning of piles was accomplished by moans of small orange peel buckets. The author of this thesis installed the system with entirely satisfactory re- sults. In the case of the Rivoli Theatre, investigation of the foundation conditions showed inadequate footings under the points of largest concentrations. In the old system of under-pinning, the method generally (4) — AV'IIyD— “‘.I.‘ — ‘fih‘ ‘5‘. — ”Ilu.‘~ — Mm.&\ WM xxwohnunk oN .. \ “not“; \ x hthfiu Vu\&. qtuxlk Ithaca? oven 1. k“.

These new footings thus installed were generally of concrete or masonry resting on satisfactory bearing soil and built up to the under side of the existing footings to a point where it was possible to begin wedging and dry- packing. This method however did not prevent the possibility of further settlement when the full load of the building was transferred to the new section or sections. This was . principally due to the fact that it was impossible, because of lack of facilities, to depress each new foundation section to a point where it would reach equilibrium before the actual transfer of the load. Generally in this case, therefore, settlement was experienced after the installation of the under-pinning and sometimes necessitated extensive repairs to the super-structures. The conditions described above led to the deveIOpment in 1901 of a patented steel pile which consisted of a steel pipe installed in short sections by means of hydraulic jacks, and, when completed, filled with concrete. It is the author's intent to discuss in detail in this thesis the application of the method developed to meet the need explained in the preceding paragraphs; to discuss the machinery used, the method of procedure, and to suggest (5) improvements for construction of the hydraulic jack. The suggested improvement of the Jack will speed up the method of under-pinning considerably, especially in a case of long sections of foundation where a jacking beam might be placed underneath. While this thesis treats primarily of the method of utilizing hydraulic jacks, complete presentation of the sub- Ject necessitates occasional reference to, or comparison wdth, other systems of under-pinning. The first consideration in the modern under-pinning process is the personnel. Three men are generally used in each unit, a dockbuilder foreman, one dock-builder and one laborer. Other men however are required for the excavating of the approach pits by which the three men.may enter the point beneath the footing where the under-pinning is to . start. The foreman dock-builder directs all work, and be- cause of the limited space in.which it is necessary to function, he is generally a working foreman, who, with the aid of the laborer and the other dockbbuilder, handles all equipment and materials. The second dockbbuilder is really the assistant to the foreman, and the laborer carries out the orders. No particular qualifications are required of these men except that all of them.be in such physical con- dition as to permit them to do heavy work under the most trying conditions. i The next consideration is the equipment used. The first (6) . ..._-‘.‘.s.__.— _.-—-—..-_ .____ in order would be the hydraulic jack, which, because of the. fact that it is handled in a limited working space, must be as light in weight as possible, yet consistent with good de— sign, for the tonnage which these jacks exert is tremendous. Hydraulic jacks are of many types and vary in size and shape. The jacks used by the author's concern on the job to be described were manufactured by the Richard Dudgecn.Company of New York City, manufacturers of jacks for ninety years. 1. The jacks used were 21%" in height when.collapsed, 33%“ when Open, and had a capacity of 60 tons. The diameter of the ram was 5" and the cylinder 7 5/8". When depressed, the jack appears to be a simple cylinder without base or head. When elevated, it looks much like one cylinder slid— ing within another. The weight of the cylinder and ram is l. The Dudgecn jacks were selected because of their con- venience in handling, their light weight and their having a long "run~out” or maximum opening for length of jack. Although the principles of hydraulics were known in 1664, it was not until 1795 that the hydraulic press was invented by Joseph Bramah, in England, and it was not until 1849 that the hydraulic jack was invented by Richard Dudgecn, in America. It is inter- esting to note that while 54 years elapsed between the invention of the press and the Jack, the hydraulic jack was one of the earliest adaptations to practical use of the principle of the hydraulic press. The Jack designed at that time and as shown on Plate Number 2 is used largely today.

Canctte finriflé Richard Dudgeon’s Universal Hydrostatic Triplex Single Pump Motor Driven Pressure Pump Fig I Fig. 2 HESE cuts show a motor-driven triple plunger pressure pump with the valves located in a separate chamber between the cylinder and the pump, and under the control of an operator in a position to see the progress of the work. The three plungers are mounted on one shaft at angles of 120 degrees. The pumps consist of a solid plunger working in a block and with a gland packing. connected by a copper tube with a valve-block, the details of which can be seen by Fig. 2. It will be noticed by this view that there are three valve chambers, each provided with a connection which leads directly to its own piston chamber, and that these valve bores are arranged in the shape of an equilateral triangle. A push-tube is used so that the valves may all be depressed from their seats at one time, but the upper valves are made of different lengths, to permit the throwing-out of one pump before the others. The operator, by turning the valve-handle, can therefore stop one pump or two pumps. and by pressing all t/zree upper valves, stop all three pumps from effective operation. When the pressure is to be relieved, the valve handle is turned still further by the operator, which causes the longest valve to open the pressure valve below it, the intermediate length valve then opens the second valve, and finally the shortest valve opens its pressure valve. This not only allows the gradual reduction of pressure in the pressure chamber, but it reduces the effort required to open the valves. If desired, the chamber containing these valves can be attached directly to the cylinders. It is possible to arrange these valves to seat as shown, or they may be inverted. In fact the valves may be placed in any position. They may be located in a Y or coupling, which would be allowed to lie on the ground in any position. Price of 2 horse-power pump with motor, — net.

This instrument was used to out 3" grout holes in the steel Jacking plates, to cut I beam channel struts to the proper length to suit each individual case, and also to out the 10" steel pipe casings to the preper length. The instrument must be accurate and must be equipped with the preper tip to make clean cuts. In the case of the steel pile sections, if a straight pile is to be obtained it is necessary that all cuts be made perpendicular to the axis of the pipe. Plate Number 7 shows the diaphragm type of water pump which was finally used because of the particular conditions under which the men had to work. The 3" centrimgal shown on Plate Number 8 was used at the start of the job, and worked in a sump. It pulled through a considerable amount of foreign material because most of the time, it worked under no head. This pump was soon replaced by the diaphragm pump shown on Plate Number 7. The latter is a single open t0p diaphragm mounted on a steel derrick. Being of smaller capacity and more economical for this particular type of work it proved to be ideal for the job.

This twmnel is indicated on Plate Number ll. As will be noted, the tunnel runs entirely through the build- ing, one wall of which combines with footings number 32 - 23 - 15 - 7 and 40. It was first thought that the excess- ive settlement of columns 5 - 6 - ‘7, 13 - l4 - 15, 21 - 22 - 23, 30 - 31 and 32, was caused by seepage through the walls of this tunnel. Many times approach pits are above water and therefore no water pumps are needed. In this particular case however the bottoms of the footings were found not at an elevation of 5' below the floor line as indicated on Plate Number 11, but varied in depth from 8%," to 12' necessitating continuous pumping from the time the approach tunnel was started. It will be noted on Plate Number 11 that the elevation of the floor is indicated as 82.0 and the bottoms of the footings at 77.0. 1.. Jacking blocks, the use of which will be described 1. It might also be stated here that where approach pits extend to great depth, stage operation of pumps is necessary. Platforms are built at various levels and it is the'job of each pump to lift the water from one stage or platform to the next. The amount of lift, of course, de- pends mainly on the efficiency of the pump and the quantity of water to be handled.

The ends are faced perpendic- ular to the axis of the pipe and the pipe then filled with' concrete. The purpose of these blocks is to extend the runpout of the jack. 0n the Job referred to in this thesis an air hammer ‘was used for speeding up the driving of wedges. Inasmuch as compressed air was available in the day time, a great deal of time was saved by transferring the load from the Jack to the struts by the use of this medium. The one used was a standard Chicago Pneumatic fully illustrated on Plate Number 9. In the under-pinning process we also have equipment which remains a part of the completed pile and thus is classified as material. one such item is the wedge, two sizes of which were used on this job. Both.were 3“ in 'width and 12" in length, one having a taper of l/lG” to 5/8", and the other l/l6" to l/é". These wedges were made of steel and supplied by the R. Steel Construction Company, Long Island City. The method of driving these wedges is generally by the use of a maul. The one used for starting the wedges ‘weighed 10 lbs. .A heavier maul would be used but for the fact the air hammer did the driving for transferring the load.

Another column was now started, and observations were taken every hour for about three hours on the gauge read- ing for the pile just completed. When the gauge indicated a settlement the pump was started again until the 45 ton load (30 tons plus 50% overload) was obtained, after which further observations were made. When it was definitely established that the point had been reached where. no further settlement would be obtained under the given load, the jack and the plates were removed and concrete was poured in the pile filling it within two inches of the top. When the concrete had settled, the jacking plate with the grout hole was again placed in position. Grout was poured through the 3" hole, and the plate was carefully mushed to position on the top of the tube to insure com- plete contact. The jack was again replaced and the jack- ing plate placed on the top of the jack (and under the foot- ing). The pressure was again applied and readings were ‘ taken as above. At this point it should be noted.that the ‘tpring back" of the pile was eliminated. When no further settlement was indicated, two 8" channel struts were placed, one either side of the jack. These struts had been cut to the preper length to fit between the “upper and the lower jacking plates with only sufficient clearance on the ends to permit placing of the steel wedges for transfer of the (21) load. The steel wedges were assembled in triplicate for added power and placed between the tap jacking plate and the ends of the struts. The maul was used to start the driving, and when the wedges became'tight the air hammer was placed in service. During the driving readings were constantly taken on the gauge indicating the lowering of the load on the jack as this load was transferred to the struts. The driving continued until the reading on.the gauge became zero. were the jack collapsed before complete transfer of the load had been made, the pile would tend to spring up again, and upon final transfer of the column load on all piles, further settlement might be experienced. This is one of the most important points to be observed in the under-pinning process.. As the main column loads were computed to be 120 tone, it was necessary to place three more piles under this foot- ing in a like manner. When the column load was completely transferred, all equipment was removed from.the hole, in- cluding the sheeting and the platform. In order to Obviate slides, the shooting was removed as the back filling took place. When the back fill reached a point one foot below the top of the under-pinning piles, a dam was placed in the approach pit, at the entrance of the approach tunnel. Cone crete was forced behind this dam.and sufficiently puddled (22) to completely fill the excavated section underneath the column footing. Obviously, the thickness of concrete at this point was the one foot just referred to plus the run length of the struts. The length of these struts must be not less than the height of the collapsed jack plus 2", and not more than the height of the cpen jack plus wedge clear- ance. When the concrete encasement of the struts was com- pleted the hole was backfilled to the underside of the con- crete floor. This backfill was tamped and used as the bottom form. Concrete was then poured and finished to match the floor. Upon the completion of all of the columns which were done in a similar manner, settlement levels were taken from points on these columns which had been referred to a datum set outside of the building. Not one of the. nine completed columns under-pinned gave the slightest evidence of settlanent. When the job was finished 432 feet of under-pinning pile had been installed in a total time of 31 days. Each day averaged eight hours, with six men working. Prior to the advent of this method of under-pinning, such a job would have cost many thousands of dollars more and would have re- quired double the time to complete. All this without the positive assurance that no further settlement would be ex- perienced. Furthermore, under the old method it would have been necessary to close the plant during the complete time (23) 7 -1 ,. s‘ < of this Operation. With the new system, no inconvenience whatever was experienced by the Operators of the heavy planers and other machinery in the building, during the installation of the piles. Then too, under the old system, it also would have been necessary to shore up each column before starting the under-pinning. This would have involved additional expenditures of time and money. Methods have advanced considerably since 1900, and improvements can still be made, especially in the construc- tion of the hydraulic jack. It is the author's opinion that ihe general manufacture of under-pinning jacks having bases equipped for the attach- ment of I beam clamps (the manufacturer also supplying these clamps) would greatly increase the adaptability of this machine. Plate Number 13 shows one of the heavier jacks with a square base such as might be reconmended for the lighter under-pinning jacks, and to which the I been clamp could be adapted. By means of this clamp tin jack could be attached in an inverted position to an I beam which would take the place of the tap jacking plate referred to. This I beam could be of any length to suit conditions and could be held against the under side of the footing by means of struts. This would result in the saving of all the time now lost in the removal and re-setting of’the instrument after the installation of each section of pile. It would be necessary only to depress the jack by means of an hy- (24) a“ l—V‘ .‘ i 1 -. " . 1', War) .3- .‘r, J ' I . . .‘ y D. F. v' “A It - h , .. Fw v. . . . ‘. ‘ A 's j-. 3" " ’ r', .V ;:"P It“.

Then, to extend the run-out of the jack, it is necessary only to add the jacking blocks before proceeding with the pumping operation. Contrasting this with the present method which re- quires the complete removal of the heavy jack after the driving of each short section of pile, and remenbering that the improvement suggested by the author will eliminate the handling of the 287 pound machine in limited quarters, it is obvious that this improvement will cut the actual Operating time in half, and will reduce costs by at least 25%.
