PUSH PIER DESIGN ANALYSIS
The load requirements for the piers designed to assist in supporting the identified areas of the subject residence
were determined. The selected piling locations and the specific piling are identified on the Pier Identification and
Location Plan attached. The calculated total loads on the piers in the specific location, including both dead and
live loads are documented in the attached table which is designated as Attachment “A”. Based on the total load
requirements for each of these piers, the 5k driver is to be employed. The 5k torque driver should be employed
with a selected gauge pressure of _2,250____ psi, which will provide pile capacity, including the 2 to 1 safety
factor of _34,388___ lbs. which is greater than the maximum calculated total load of _16,200___ lbs. which
occurs on the pier identified as no. _1__. Based on this analysis, the use of the 5k torque driver for the piers with
a specific gauge pressure of _2,250___ psi and a minimum depth of 10’ is approved and certified as meeting all
of the requirements of the Florida Building Code 2017 6th Edition, and good engineering practice. This is not to
be the primary support structure, but a supplement support to assist in support of the weight of the structure,
which will reduce the total pressure on the existing soils. After completion of installation, Cool and Cobb
Engineering Company shall be supplied with a drilling log of the location and depths of each pile installed so they
can evaluate the installation and prepare the “As Built” drawings.
General Notes:
1.All piers to be installed in accordance with ICC ES AC 358
2.A log of each pier to be kept by Contractor noting depth and final torque installed for each pier.
3.Minimum pier depth to be 10’‐0”
4.All pier calculations are based on a maximum spacing of 6’‐0”
5.Push piers installed less than 48” apart are to be battered 10° away from each other.
6.This design is based on the loads of the structure placed on the shallow soils under the structure.
7.No deep soils geotechnical testing information was provided for this design.
8.This design does not address any possible sink hole activity as defined in Florida Statute § 627.706.
