Splicing

When the pile lengths required for the foundation are too long for trucking or driving due to headroom or rig restriction, a pile may have to be spliced (added to extend). The splice should be capable of resisting stresses from service loads and conditions. Moment capacity is particularly important in high seismic zones, in piles possibly subject to impact, and in difficult driving conditions. Note that not all splices will develop tension and/or moment capacity.
