- This paper provides a reference for industry when using mobile cranes for extracting pile casings. Weighing up to 20 tonnes these are routinely used to support loose material overlying clay when constructing bored piles. Balfour Beatty Ground Engineering and Cementation Foundations Skanska commissioned research following serious incidents whereby failures occurred when adhesion between casings and the surrounding soil failed unexpectedly. The research consisted of centrifuge model tests investigating variables influencing pull-out resistance. The paper provides guidance on circumstances that can result in excessive pull-out force and was presented to the Federation of Piling Specialists.
