Helical piles are increasingly used to support and rehabilitate structures subjected to both tensile and compressive axial loads. This paper presents a detailed investigation into the axial performance of helical piles. The study encompasses 19 full-scale load tests in different soils and numerical modeling using finite element analysis. The ultimate load criteria and load transfer mechanisms for helical piles were examined. In addition, the relationship between the installation effort (torque) and pile capacity was explored to determine its suitability for predicting pile capacity. The piles tested were made of three circular pitched bearing plates welded at a spacing of three helical diameters to a solid-square, slender steel shaft. It is proposed to determine the ultimate pile capacity as the load corresponding to pile head movement equal to 8% of the largest helix diameter Plus the pile elastic deflection. A torque correlation factor, K-T = 33 m(-1) for compression and KT = 24 m(-1) for uplift, was established to relate the ultimate pile capacity to the installation torque. It was found that load transfer to the soil is predominantly through a cylindrical shear failure surface that follows the tapered profile of the inter-helices soils and the bearing capacity of the lead helix in the direction of loading.
