About this document

Expander Body Piles in Sandy Soils by Antonio Harry Ponce is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document discusses the use of Expander Bodies (EBs) to improve the capacity of cast in situ piles in sandy soils. EBs are steel tubes that can be expanded using grout injection to increase the pile toe diameter and area. Key benefits are: 1) EBs provide quality control data on soil strength and stiffness during expansion that can be used for design. 2) Post-grouting below the expanded EB further increases toe capacity and reduces settlement. 3) Combining EBs with displacement auger piles increases
