Abstract

A screw pile consists of one or several helices connected on a central straight shaft or core. These kinds of piles are widely used onshore and typically installed by applying torque at the pile head with additional vertical compressive force (also referred to as crowd force) if required. Current standards and industrial guidelines recommend that installation follows the pitch-matched approach i.e. advancement ratio AR = 1.0 [1], which means that the pile vertical penetration for each rotation equals the helix pitch, because it is suggested that this leads to reduced installation disturbance
