Abstract:Auger-cast-in-place (ACIP) piles offer an efficient method of constructing and installing piles,
but because the ACIP process is essentially blind and the configuration of the final pile cannot be
assured, applications for ACIP piles have been limited by the Florida Department of Transportation.
University of South Florida researchers studied the use of thermal
sensors in a technique called thermal integrity profiling (TIP) to
verify the final shape and provide quality assurance of ACIP piles.
