Calculations

Soil Properties

Helical Pier Properties

Basics for calculation:

  • Size of helix can vary - 6-14"
  • Number of helices can vary to increase total bearing area. 1-3 helices per section
  • Pier shaft can vary - more load capacity. Hollow pier profiles can stand more lateral loads per weight of steel pier.
  • Screw force - force limit at a given radius = load bearing capacity, in the limit that we have not stripped out the soil (using a screw thread analogy)
