METHOD OF BREAKING CONCRETE PILES

摘要

A method of breaking a reinforced concrete pile comprising the steps of treating the reinforcement which is to be incorporated in the portion of the pile to be broken away so as to isolate the reinforcement in that portion fr om the concrete cast around it to form the pile, forming a hole in the pile in a transverse plane substantially perpendicular to the major axis of the pile i n a position corresponding to the intended level of the bottom of the portion to be broken away, and applying to the concrete of the pile from within the hol e forces which act towards opposite ends of the pile to split the pile in or substantially in the transverse plane.
