Figure 4. Connection details for misaligned piles.<br />

Connections <strong>to</strong> misaligned piles (see drawings on figure 3 and details above)<br />

Note: Pile<strong>to</strong>-beam<br />

connections must<br />

be designed by<br />

an engineer.<br />

1. The ability <strong>to</strong> construct the pile-<strong>to</strong>-beam connections designed by the engineer is directly dependent<br />

upon the accuracy of pile installation and alignment.<br />

2. Misaligned piles will require the contrac<strong>to</strong>r <strong>to</strong> modify pile-<strong>to</strong>-beam connections in the field.<br />

3. Badly misaligned piles will require removal and reinstallation, sister piles, or special connections, all <strong>to</strong><br />

be determined by the engineer.<br />
