Service Loads
See the following table for maximum piling length and structural loads recommended without conducting a detailed structural analysis. Many soils are not capable of developing these maximum loads. Before final structural design, review the soil information to verify the ability of the foundation to develop desired maximum loads.
Size | Maximum Length | Abutments and Trestle Bents | Footings (per Pile) |
|---|---|---|---|
16 in. | 85 ft. | 75 ton | 125 tons |
18 in. | 95 ft. | 90 tons | 175 tons |
20 in. | 105 ft. | 110 tons | 225 tons |
24 in. | 125 ft. | 140 tons | 300 tons |
