Details of the Helical Pile Figure 2a shows a hexagon joint model, and Figure 2b shows the concept of load transfer in which, load transfer moves to the inner pile through the outer pile when the top load is applied. Where there is no gravity grout plate (PL), the outer pile goes through the curves of the inner pile to generate plastic displacement, Therefore, the gravity grout PL was made to support the movement and conduct gravity grouting, (a) (b) Figure 2. Designing hexagonal joint: (a) Hexagonal joint model; (b) Concept of load transfer. In this study, the helix spacing was determined to be 3.0D}, as shown in Figure 3, designed according to the individual bearing method through a field ground survey to determine the design load of 600.0 KN. Although the design load of 600.0 KN is supported by the end bearing capacity and the skin friction capacity, the ratio of the end bearing capacity to the bearing capacity of the skin friction capacity is different depending on ground conditions. While greater helix plate pitches achieve even deeper rotary penetration, the rolling resistance is, greater in the ground. Therefore, 75 mm (three inches), as suggested by [25], was employed, and the helix plate was installed perpendicular to the hollow shaft, Table | illustrates the specifications and design load of the helix plate of the helical piles.

Pile Installation for the Field Test and Results 3.1. Planning Pile Installation for the Field Test ‘The pile installation for the field test was conducted in the local road construction sites of Site-1 (NE-1, 2) shown in Figure 4, and Site-2 (NH-3, 4) shown in Figure 5. The geological features of Site-1 and Site-2 are typical of Korea ground, consisting of sedimentary soil (reclaimed soil), alluvial beds, ‘weathered rock soil, and weathered rock. The sites were selected as areas for piling for the field test.
