2. Contents ① Background ② Purpose ③ Outline of construction and Quality control ④ Result and consideration ⑤ Conclusion

3. ① Background (Outline of Kamaido service water pond)

4. Kamaido service water pond ground plan a cross section Built in 1970 height ; 7.7m Width; 104m×104m Volume of water kept in store; 60,000m 3 104m 7.7m

5. Kamaido service water pond In the upper part, there are a baseball ground and tennis courts.

6. Kamaido service water pond Existing piles 35 ～ 48m φ600mm The number of existing piles are 1696.

7. The Hyogoken-nanbu earthquake happened in 1995. Specifications for Water installations was revised in 1997. Kamaido service water pond did not satisfy Specifications for Water installations. By the way

8. Kamaido service water pond HMP Existing piles 35 ～ 48m φ600mm 38 ～ 48m φ178mm

9. ② Purpose

10. Purpose The number of existing piles are 1696. It is worried that the existing piles comes in contact with HMP when HMP is constructed. Do to examine whether HMP comes in contact with the existing paling.

11. ③ Outline of construction and Quality control

12. Ground plan It has divided into nine blocks by expanded joint. 8 HMP are constructed by a block. The construction of 72 of 9×8 in all is scheduled. Six was constructed in this time. Expanded Joint

13. Ground plan(Expanding figure) HMP are batter piles. Existing piles HMP

14. Construction image (A cross section) The ground is a very soft ground up to about 35-43m. The ground becomes hard at deeper position than it. HMP is constructed between the existing piles. N value Existing piles HMP

15. Construction (batter pile) Plastic Bit

16. Construction process chart

17. Quality control ① Investigation of torque ② Angle measurement ③ Measurement with inclination meter

18. Investigation of torque

19. Investigation result of torque The rotating torque showed the tendency to increase if reaching the bearing ground in the drilling. Torque(Mpa) depth(m )

20. Angle measurement

22. Measurement with inclination meter

24. Result of Measurement with inclination meter

25. The angle of the paling of all the palings was ±1°. This value was more excellent than construction control value ±2.5° on general paling head

26. Conclusion It was thought that the adoption of a plastic bit was good for the anxiety about the contact of the existing paling and HMP. It was confirmed that the construction accuracy of batter pile of HMP was excellent.The accumulation of further data will be hoped for in the future. It was thought that the measurement of the rotating torque of the drilling machine was one of effective construction control techniques as the judgment material which confirmed the attainment to the supporting soil.
