CHANCE® Model SS5, SS175, RS2875.203, RS2875.276, RS3500, RS4500 and SS175/RS3500 Combo
Helical Foundation Systems are used either to underpin foundations of existing structures or to form deep
foundations for new structures; and are designed to transfer compression and tension loads from the supported
structures to suitable soil bearing strata. Underpinning of existing foundations is generally achieved by
attaching the helical piles to the retrofit brackets (Type A side-load brackets), which support compression loads
only. Deep foundations for new construction are generally obtained by attaching the helical piles to new
construction brackets (Type B direct-load brackets) that are embedded in concrete pile caps or grade beams,
which support both tension and compression loads.
2.2 IRC:
Under the IRC, CHANCE® Model SS5, SS175, RS2875.203, RS2875.276, RS3500, RS4500 and
SS175/RS3500 Combo Helical Foundation Systems may be used as an alternate foundation system
supporting light-frame construction, exterior porch deck, elevated walkway and stairway construction and
accessory structures.

3.0 DESCRIPTION
3.1 General:
The CHANCE® helical foundation systems consist of a helical pile and a bracket that allows for attachment to
the supported structures. Each helical pile, consisting of a lead section and one or more extension sections, is
screwed into the ground by application of torsion to a depth that conforms to project requirements for avoidance
of unsatisfactory subsurface conditions and ensures a suitable soil or bedrock bearing stratum has been
reached. The bracket is then installed to connect the pile to the concrete foundation of the supported structure.
3.2 System Components:
The CHANCE® helical foundation systems include either a Model SS5, SS175, RS2875.203, RS2875.276,
RS3500, RS4500 or SS175/RS3500 combo helical pile lead shaft (shaft with a helix or helices), extension
shaft(s), and either a Type A side-load bracket (standard remedial repair bracket, heavy duty remedial repair
bracket, and direct jack remedial repair bracket) or a Type B direct-load bracket (new construction pile cap),
for attachment to concrete foundations. The material and geometric dimensions of lead section and
extension(s) of Model SS5, SS175, RS2875.203, RS2875.276, RS3500 or RS4500 helical piles are the same
(i.e., a model SS5 pile consists of a SS5 lead shaft and one or more SS5 extension shafts that are connected
together by couplings described in Section 3.2.3). A Model SS175/RS3500 combo helical pile consists of a
SS175 lead section and one or more RS3500 extension(s) which are attached together by couplings and
transition adapters, described in Section 3.2.3.
3.2.1 Helical Pile Lead Sections and Extensions: The CHANCE® Model SS5, SS175, RS2875.203,
RS2875.276, RS3500 and RS4500 helical pile lead sections consist of one or more (up to three for SS5 lead
sections, and up to four for SS175, RS2875.203, RS2875.276, RS3500, and RS4500 lead sections) helical-
shaped circular steel plates factory-welded to a central steel shaft. The depth of the helical piles in soil is
typically extended by adding one or more steel shaft extensions that are mechanically connected together by
integral, forged steel couplings, to form one continuous steel pile. The extensions may or may not include
helical bearing plates, depending on the project specifications.
The SS5 central steel shafts of the lead section and extension sections are 11/2-inch (38.1 mm), solid, round-
cornered, square (RCS) steel bars.
The SS175 central steel shafts of the lead section and extension sections are 13/4-inch (44.5 mm), solid,
round-cornered, square (RCS) steel bars.
The RS2875.203 central steel shafts of the lead section and extension sections are round hollow structural
steel sections, HSS2.875x0.203, having a 27/8-inch (73 mm) outside diameter and a nominal wall thickness of
0.203 inch (5.2 mm).
The RS2875.276 central steel shafts of the lead section and extension sections are round hollow structural
steel sections, HSS2.875x0.276, having a 27/8-inch (73 mm) outside diameter and a nominal wall thickness of
0.276 inch (7.0 mm).
The RS3500 central steel shafts of the lead section and extension sections are round hollow structural steel
sections, HSS3.500x0.300, having a 31/2-inch (88.9 mm) outside diameter and a nominal wall thickness of
0.300 inch (7.6 mm).
The RS4500 central steel shafts of the lead section and extension sections are round hollow structural steel
sections, HSS4.500x0.337, having a 41/2-inch (114.3 mm) outside diameter and a nominal wall thickness of
0.337 inch (8.6 mm).
Figures 1A & 1B and Table 1 provide details for lead sections; and Figures 2A & 2B and Table 2 provide
details for extension sections.
3.2.2 Helix Plates: Each circular, helical, steel bearing plate (helix) is split from the center to the outside
edge with spiral edge geometry. Each helix is formed to a clockwise downward spiral with all radial sections
normal to the shaft's central longitudinal axis ±3° and with a 3-inch nominal pitch. The pitch is the distance
between the leading and trailing edges. The helices are fillet-welded to the pile shaft.
For SS5, RS2875.203 and RS2875.276 shafts, each helix plate is 0.375 inch (9.5 mm) thick and has an outer
diameter of 8, 10, 12 or 14 inches (203, 254, 305 or 356 mm).
For SS175 shafts, each helix plate is 0.375 inch (9.5 mm) thick and has an outer diameter of 8, 10, 12 or 14
inches (203, 254, 305 or 356 mm).
ESR-2794 Page 3 of 46

For RS3500 and RS4500 shafts, each helix plate is 0.50 inch (12.7 mm) thick with an outer diameter of 8,
10,12 or 14 inches (203, 254, 305, or 356 mm).
Figures 1A & 1B, and 2A & 2B, and Tables 1 and 2, provide details.
3.2.3 Couplings: For SS5, SS175, RS2875.203, RS2875.276, RS3500 and RS4500 sections, holes are
factory-drilled (holes perforated for RS4500) at each end of an extension section and at the upper end of the
lead section, so as to allow the multiple shaft sections (between the lead and the extension section or between
two extension sections) to be through-bolted together during the installation.
At one end of each SS5 and SS175 extension section, an upset socket is made from the RCS steel bar,
which allows the upper end of the lead shaft or the other end (the end without the upset socket) of an extension
section to be snug-fitted into the upset socket. For SS5 helical piles, each coupling connection includes one
3
/4-inch-diameter (19 mm), 3-inch-long (76.2 mm), hex-head structural bolt, and one matching hex jam nut. For
SS175 helical piles, each coupling connection includes one 7/8-inch-diameter (22 mm), 3.75-inch-long
(95.2 mm), hex-head bolt, and one matching hex jam nut. Figures 1A and 2A, and Tables 1 and 2, provide
details.
One end of each RS2875.203, RS2875.276 and RS3500 extension section has a steel coupler that consists
of a pipe sleeve, factory-welded to the end of the extension, which allows the upper end of the lead shaft or
the other end of an extension section to be snug-fitted into the welded coupler. The RS2875.203 and
RS2875.276 coupler sleeves are round, hollow structural steel sections, HSS3.5x0.250, measuring 7.5 inch-
long (190.5 mm), and having a 31/2-inch (88.9 mm) outside diameter and a 0.25-inch (6.4 mm) nominal wall
thickness. The RS3500 coupler pipe sleeve is a round, hollow structural steel section, HSS4.125x0.250,
measuring 7.5 inches long (190.5 mm) and having a 41/8-inch (104.8 mm) outside diameter and a 0.25-inch
(6.4 mm) nominal wall thickness. Only one end of each RS4500 extension section has a steel coupling forged
into a round deep socket sleeve as an integral part of the plain extension material. The forged coupler is
6.5 inches (165.1 mm) long with a 0.27 inch (6.86 mm) nominal wall thickness and 4.66-inch (118.36 mm)
internal diameter. Holes are factory drilled at each end of an extension section and at the upper end of the lead
section (holes perforated for RS4500), so as to allow multiple shaft sections to be through-bolted together
during the installation. For RS2875.203 and RS2875.276 helical piles, each coupling connection includes two
3
/4-inch-diameter (19 mm), 41/4-inch-long (108 mm), standard hex-head structural bolts, and two matching hex
nuts. For RS3500 helical piles, each coupling connection includes two 3/4-inch-diameter (19 mm), 51/4-inch-
long (133.4 mm), standard hex-head structural bolts, and two matching hex nuts. For RS4500 helical piles,
each coupling connection includes two 1-inch-diameter (25.4 mm), 6-inch-long (152.4 mm), standard hex-head
structural bolts, and two matching hex nuts. See Figures 1B and 2B and Table 2 for details.
For the SS175/RS3500 combo pile, the connection between SS175 lead shaft and RS3500 extension shaft
requires a C1500895 transition adapter. The connection between the SS175 lead section and the adapter is
done using one 7/8-inch-diameter hex-head bolt with one matching heavy hex jam nut. The connection between
the adapter and the RS3500 shaft is done using two 3/4-inch-diameter standard hex-head structural bolts with
matching hex nuts. The adapter fits inside the coupler sleeve and outside of the SS175 shaft to facilitate a
connection between a SS175 lead section and a RS3500 extension section. See Figure 10 for details. The
connection between RS3500 extensions is the same as that for RS3500 piles.
3.2.4 Brackets: The CHANCE® Standard Remedial Repair Bracket assembly, Heavy Duty Remedial Repair
Bracket assembly, and Direct Jack Remedial Repair Bracket assembly are side-load brackets, intended to
attach helical piles that support axial compression loads only, which introduce both structure eccentricity
(eccentricity between applied loading and reactions acting on the foundation structure) and bracket eccentricity
(eccentricity between applied loading and reactions acting on the bracket assembly). CHANCE® New
Construction Pile Caps are direct-load brackets and are for attaching to helical piles that support axial
compression or axial tension loads. The different brackets are described in Sections [Link] through [Link].

4.0 DESIGN AND INSTALLATION

4.1 Design:
4.1.1 General: Engineering calculations (analysis and design) and drawings, prepared by a registered design
professional, must be submitted to and approved by the code official for each project, and must be based on
accepted engineering principles, as described in IBC Section 1604.4, and must conform to IBC Section 1810.
Under the IRC, the registered design professional must design the helical pile foundation system and devices,
including the bracket, used as a foundation element. The applied loads must not exceed the published
capacities shown in this report for the helical pile foundation system and devices. The registered design
professional may determine the design forces in accordance with IRC Section R301 or, as an alternate, in
accordance with IBC provisions. The engineering analysis must address helical foundation system
performance related to structural and geotechnical requirements. The calculations must address the ability
(considering strength and stiffness) of the supported foundation and structure to transmit the applied loads to
the helical foundation system and the ability of the helical piles and surrounding soils to support the loads
applied by the supported foundation and structure. The design method for the steel components is either the
Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD), or the Allowable Strength Design (ASD), described in IBC Section
202 and AISC 360 Section B3. The design method for the concrete components is the Strength Design
(also called LRFD) described in IBC Section 202 and ACI 318. The design method for soils is the ASD
prescribed in IBC Sections 202 and 1802.1 (Section 1801.2 of the 2015, 2012, and 2009 IBC).
The structural analysis must consider all applicable internal forces (axial forces, shears, bending moments
and torsional moments, if applicable) due to applied loads, eccentricity between applied loads and reactions
acting on the pile-supported structure, the forces/moments exerted on the concrete foundations by the
CHANCE® connection brackets, and the design span(s) between helical foundations.
CHANCE® remedial repair brackets entail eccentric connection to the pile-supported structure. The effects
of this eccentricity can be divided into two components: bracket eccentricity and structural eccentricity. The
structural eccentricity relates to the offset distance between the applied loads and the reactions, including
reactions from the brackets acting on the pile-supported structure. The bracket eccentricity is resisted by the
pile shaft, the bracket, the connection between the shaft and the bracket, and the connection between the
bracket and the pile-supported structure. The effects of the bracket eccentricity have been evaluated in this
report. The forces exerted by the remedial brackets on the supported structures at the brackets’ allowable load
ratings are described in Figure 9 and in Tables 17 through 22. The actual forces exerted on supported
foundations will depend on the load actually supported by the helical pile. For loads less than a bracket’s
allowable load rating, the forces exerted on the supported foundations may be calculated by scaling down in
proportion to the supported load.
ESR-2794 Page 12 of 46

CHANCE® new construction pile caps exert a force and in some cases may be allowed to exert a moment
on the footing or grade beam in which they are embedded. The force is equal in magnitude and opposite in
direction to the force in the pile. A small lateral force is developed at the pile cap embedment if the pile shaft
is not perfectly plumb but within the permitted inclination from vertical of ±1°. The lateral shear is equal to sin
(1°) or 0.0175 x the axial force exerted on the pile by the foundation. The allowable moment is zero for pile
caps used with type SS5, type SS175, type RS2875.203 and RS2875.276, type RS3500, type RS4500 and
type SS175/RS3500 combo helical piles embedded in soft soil under all conditions of concrete strength and
pile head fixity.
For pile caps sufficiently embedded in concrete to provide a fixed head condition (see Figure 8) and
embedded in firm soils only, the allowable moments for SS5 pile shafts with C1500458G and C1500465G pile

(584 N-m) for 2,500 psi (17.2 MPa) concrete and are zero for other concrete strengths. For pile caps used with
RS3500 helical piles under the same fixed-head and firm-soil conditions in Seismic Design Categories D, E or
F, the allowable moments of the pile shaft at the pile caps’ allowable strength (ASD level) ratings are 3.2 kip-
in (362 N-m) for 2,500 psi (17.2 MPa) concrete and are zero for other concrete strengths.

in (357 N-m) for 4,000 psi (27.6 MPa) concrete.

The effects of the structural eccentricity, including the reactions (forces and moments) exerted by the bracket
to the pile-supported structures, vary with application, and must be included in the structural analysis by a
registered design professional. The result of this analysis and the structural capacities must be used to select
a helical foundation system.
ESR-2794 Page 13 of 46

The minimum pile embedment into soil for various loading conditions must be determined based on the most
stringent requirements of the following: engineering analysis; tested conditions and specified minimum pile
embedment described in this report; the site-specific geotechnical investigation report; and site-specific load
tests, if applicable.
The strengths (capacities) of the CHANCE® helical foundation components (bracket, shaft, helix and soil),
including nominal strength, LRFD strength and ASD allowable strength, as described in IBC Section 202 and
AISC 360 Section B3, are included in this evaluation report. The bracket capacities are listed in
Tables 10 through 16; shaft capacities are listed in Tables 6 through 9A; helix capacities are listed in Table 5;
and soil capacities are described in Section 4.1.5, below.
The geotechnical analysis must address the suitability of the helical foundation system for the specific project.
It must also address the center-to-center spacing of the helical pile, considering both effects on the supported
foundation and structure and group effects on the pile-soil capacity. The analysis must include estimates of
the axial tension and/or compression capacities of the helical piles, whatever is relevant for the project, and
the expected total and differential foundation movements due to single pile or pile group, as applicable.
A written report of the geotechnical investigation must be submitted to the code official as part of the required
submittal documents, prescribed in IBC Section 107, at the time of the permit application. Under the IRC, a
geotechnical investigation is not required if the helical pile foundation system and devices described in the
evaluation report are being installed to support IRC structures defined in Section 2.2 of this report and the soil
capacity of the helical pile system is established in accordance with Equation 5 in Section 4.1.5 of this report.
The geotechnical report must include, but not be limited to, the following information:
1. A plot showing the location of the soil investigation.
2. A complete record of the soil boring and penetration test logs and soil samples.
3. A record of soil profile.
4. Information on groundwater table, frost depth and corrosion-related parameters, as described in Section
5.5 of this report.
5. Soil properties, including those affecting the design such as support conditions of the piles.
6. Soil design parameters, such as shear strength parameters as required by Section 4.1.5; soil deformation
parameters; and relative pile support conditions as defined in IBC Section 1810.2.1.
7. Recommendations for design criteria, including but not limited to: mitigations of effects of differential
settlement and varying soil strength; and effects of adjacent loads.
8. Field inspection and reporting procedures (to include procedures for verification of the installed bearing
capacity when required).
9. Load test requirements.
10. Any questionable soil characteristics and special design provisions, as necessary.
4.1.2 Bracket Capacity (P1): For the concrete footing used with remedial repair brackets, the localized limit
state of the bracket’s concrete bearing and those limit states described in Chapter 17 of ACI 318-19 under the
2021 IBC (Chapter 17 of ACI 318-14 under the 2018 and 2015 IBC, Appendix D of ACI 318-11 under the 2012
IBC, and Appendix D of ACI 318-08 under the 2009 IBC) for concrete anchors in tension (such as concrete
breakout and pullout), have been evaluated in this evaluation report. The new construction pile cap loaded in
tension could fail in unreinforced concrete at minimum embedment and cover. All other limit states related to
the concrete foundation used with all brackets/pile caps recognized in this evaluation report, such as those
limit states described in Chapter 17 of ACI 318 under the 2021, 2018, and 2015 IBC (ACI 318 Appendix D
under the 2012 and 2009 IBC) for anchors in shear (such as concrete breakout and pry-out), steel cap plate
bending and concrete breakout when new construction pile caps are used to resist axial tension forces,
punching (two-way) shear, beam (one-way) shear, and flexural (bending) related limit states, lateral load
capacity, and all limit states related to bending moment transfer among pile shaft/new construction pile cap/and
concrete footing, have not been evaluated in this evaluation report. The concrete foundation and interaction of
pile shaft, new construction pile cap and concrete footing must be designed and justified to the satisfaction of
the code official, with due consideration to all applicable limit states and the direction and eccentricity of applied
loads, including reactions provided by the brackets, acting on the concrete foundation. Refer to
Tables 10, 11, and 12 for repair bracket capacities; and Tables 13, 14, 15 and 16 for new construction pile cap
capacities.
ESR-2794 Page 14 of 46

4.1.3 Shaft Capacity (P2): The top of shafts must be braced as prescribed in IBC Section 1810.2.2, and the
supported foundation structures such as concrete footings and concrete pile caps are assumed to be
adequately braced such that the supported foundation structures provide lateral stability for the pile systems.
In accordance with IBC Section 1810.2.1, any soil other than fluid soil must be deemed to afford sufficient
lateral support to prevent buckling of the systems that are braced, and the unbraced length is defined as the
length of piles that is standing in air, water or in fluid soils plus an additional 5 feet (1524 mm) when embedded
into firm soil or an additional 10 feet (3048 mm) when embedded into soft soil. Firm soil must be defined as
any soil with a Standard Penetration Test blow count of five or greater. Soft soil must be defined as any soil
with a Standard Penetration Test blow count greater than zero and less than five. Fluid soils must be defined
as any soil with a Standard Penetration Test blow count of zero [weight of hammer (WOH) or weight of rods
(WOR)]. Standard Penetration Test blow count must be determined in accordance with ASTM D1586. Under
the IRC, when helical pile foundation shafts are fully embedded into soil conditions defined in IRC Table
R401.4.1, the helical foundation system is deemed adequately supported to prevent buckling. The shaft
capacity and the coupler deflection of the helical foundation systems in air, water or fluid soils is not addressed
in Tables 6, 7, 8, 9 and 9A, and must be determined by a registered design professional.
For each pile, including Models SS5, SS175, RS2875.203, RS2875.276, RS3500, RS4500 and
SS175/RS3500 combo pile, the shaft capacity including maximum installation torque is the lowest capacity of
its components, which include a lead section, one or more extension sections, and couplings connecting lead
section to extension section, or connecting two extension sections together. Additionally, for a SS175/RS3500
combo pile, the coupling connection between SS175 lead section and a RS3500 extension section includes a
C1500895 transition adapter. Tables 6, 7, 8, 9 and 9A provide shaft capacities, including coupling capacities
and the mechanical capacities of the C1500895 transition adapter.
For purposes of this report, shaft support conditions for resisting axial compressive loads are classified into
the following two categories: (1) Fixed Condition, where the top of the pile/bracket is fully restrained against
rotation and translation by the concrete foundation; (2) and Pinned Condition, where the top of the pile/bracket
is fully restrained against translation, but not against rotation, by the concrete foundation. For both conditions,
no portion of the pile may stand in air, water or fluid soils; the top of piles must be braced in accordance with
IBC Section 1810.2.2 as noted above; and piles must be embedded at least 5 feet (1524 mm) into stiff soil,
and 10 feet (3048 mm) into soft soil. See Tables 6, 7, 8, 9 and 9A for shaft capacities.
4.1.4 Helix Plate Capacity (P3): The helix compression and tension load capacities (P3) are listed in
Table 5. For helical piles with more than one helix, the allowable helix capacity, P3, for the helical foundation
system, may be taken as the sum of the least allowable capacity of each individual helix.
4.1.5 Soil Capacity (P4): The design axial compressive and tensile load capacities of helical piles based on
soil resistance (P4) must be determined by a registered design professional in accordance with a site-specific
geotechnical report, as described in Section 4.1.1, combined with the individual helix bearing method
(Method 1), or from field loading tests conducted under the supervision of a registered design professional
(Method 2). For either Method 1 or Method 2, the predicted axial load capacities must be confirmed during the
site-specific production installation, such that the axial load capacities predicted by the torque correlation
method must be equal to or greater than that predicted by Method 1 or 2, described above.
With the individual helix bearing method, the total nominal axial load capacity of the helical pile is determined
as the sum of the individual areas of the helical bearing plates times the ultimate bearing capacities of the soil
or rock comprising the respective bearing strata for the plates, as follows:
Qtot = Σ(Ahqu) (Equation 1)
where:
Qtot = predicted nominal axial tensile or compressive capacity of the helical pile, lbf (N).
Ah = area of an individual helix bearing plate, in.2 (mm2).
qu = ultimate unit bearing capacity of the soil or rock comprising the bearing stratum for the individual helix
bearing plate, psi (MPa).
Under the 2021 IBC, the axial capacity is equal to the sum of the areas of the helical bearing plates times the
ultimate bearing capacity of the soil or rock comprising the bearing stratum plus the shaft resistance. The shaft
resistance is equal to the surface area of the shaft above the uppermost helical bearing plate times the ultimate
skin friction.
ESR-2794 Page 15 of 46

The unit bearing capacity of the bearing stratum for each helix plate is calculated using the bearing capacity
equation for deep foundations as follows:
qu = cNc + q'Nq (Equation 2)
where:
c = undrained shear strength parameter, considering the effect of soil disturbance due to the helix pile
installations, psi (MPa).
Nc = bearing capacity factor.
q' = effective overburden pressure at helix plate founding depth, psi (MPa).
Nq = bearing capacity factor.
The bearing capacity factors Nc and Nq and the undrained shear strength of soils must be taken from the site-
specific geotechnical report.
The design allowable axial load must be determined by dividing the total ultimate axial load capacity predicted
by either Method 1 or 2, above, by a safety factor of at least 2.
Under the IRC, if the helical pile system is being installed to support structures governed by the IRC, as
defined in Section 2.2 of this report, and a geotechnical investigation is not available, a safety factor of
2.5 must be used with the torque correlation method in lieu of Method 1 or 2 to determine allowable soil capacity
of the pile (Equation 5)
The Foundation Design Documentation (see Section 4.1.8) must include documentation of the derivation of
the design allowable capacity and the minimum effective torsional resistance pile termination criterion, derived
using the torque correlation method. With the torque correlation method, the total ultimate axial load capacity
of the helical pile is predicted as follows:
Qult = Kt T (Equation 3)
Qall = 0.5 Qult (Equation 4)
Qall = 0.4 Qult (Equation 5)
where:
Qult = Ultimate axial tensile or compressive capacity (lbf or N) of the helical pile, which must be limited to the
following maximum values: 55.9 kips (248.6 kN) for SS5 helical piles in tension; 62.7 kips (278.9 kN)
for SS175 helical piles in compression; 57.4 kips (255.3 kN) for SS175 helical piles in tension; 76.0
kips (738.06 kN) for RS2875.276 helical pile in tension.
Qall = Allowable axial tensile or compressive capacity (lbf or N), which must be limited to the following
maximum values: 27.9 kips (124.1 kN) for SS5 helical piles in tension; 31.4 kips (139.4 kN) for SS175
helical piles in compression; 28.7 kips (127.7 kN) for SS175 helical piles in tension; 38.0 kips (169.03
kN) for RS2875.276 helical pile in tension.
Capacity limitations for SS5 and SS175 Qult and Qall described in this Section 4.1.5 are based on axial
verification tests conducted on single-helix helical piles. Torque correlation predicted capacities of multi-helix
helical piles above these limitations are outside the scope of this evaluation report and are subject to approval
of the code official, the approval being based upon submission of justifying evidence in accordance with the
code by a registered design professional.
Kt = Torque correlation factor of 10 ft-1 (32.8 m-1) for the CHANCE® Model SS5 (1.5-inch) and SS175
(1.75-inch) square shaft piles, 9 ft-1 (30 m-1) for Models RS2875.203 and RS2875.276 piles, 7 ft-1 (23
m-1) for the Model RS3500 and the Model SS175/RS3500 Combo piles, and 5.5 ft-1 (18.0 m-1) for Model
RS4500.
T = Effective torsional resistance, which is defined as follows: For single-helix piles supporting axial
compression loads, it is the installation torque measured when the pile reaches its final tip embedment;
for all piles supporting axial tension loads and for multi-helix piles supporting axial compression loads,
it is the average of the last three installation torque measurements. Such measurements must be made
at 1-foot (305 mm) increments of tip embedment as the lead helix moves from a position, which is
2 feet (710 mm) prior to the final tip embedment, to the final tip embedment, in lbf-ft or N-m. The
minimum effective torsional resistance pile termination criterion is calculated as:
ESR-2794 Page 16 of 46

Treq = F.S. x Qall/Kt (Equation 5)

where:
Treq = minimum effective torsional resistance pile termination criterion, in lbf-ft or N-m.
F.S. = an appropriate factor of safety for the project, not less than 2.0.
The lateral soil capacity of helical piles referenced in Table 23 of this report is based on field testing of either
27/8-inch outside-diameter (Models RS2875.203 and RS2875.276) or 3.5-inch-outside-diameter
(Model RS3500 and Model SS175/RS3500 Combo) and 4.5-inch-outside-diameter (Model RS4500) shafts
with helix plate diameters ranging between 8-inches and 14 inches installed in a stiff clay soil with a minimum
SPT blow count of 26 at a minimum embedment as indicated in Table 23. For soil conditions other than stiff
clay, the lateral capacity of the pile must be designed by a registered design professional.
4.1.6 Foundation System: The overall allowable capacity of the CHANCE® helical foundation system
(in tension and compression) depends upon the analysis of interaction of brackets, shafts, helical plates and
soils, and must be the lowest value of P1 (bracket capacity), P2 (shaft capacity), P3 (helical bearing plate
capacity) and P4 (allowable soil capacity). The overall allowable lateral capacity of the CHANCE® helical
foundation system depends upon the analysis of interaction of brackets, shafts and soils, and must be the
lowest value of those for bracket allowable capacity, shaft allowable capacity, and allowable soil capacity.
For all design methods permitted under Section 4.1.1 of this report, the allowable axial compressive and
tensile load of the helical pile system must be based on the least of the following conditions in accordance with
IBC Section 1810.[Link]:
• Allowable load predicted by the individual helix bearing method (or Method 1) described in Section 4.1.5 of
this report.
• Allowable load predicted by the torque correlation method described in Section 4.1.5 of this report.
• Allowable load predicted by dividing the ultimate capacity determined from load tests (Method 2 described
in Section 4.1.5) by a safety factor of at least 2.0. This allowable load will be determined by a registered
design professional for each site-specific condition. Under the 2021 IBC, the load tests must comply with
2021 IBC Section 1810.[Link].
• Allowable capacities of the shaft and shaft couplings. See Section 4.1.3 of this report.
• Sum of the allowable axial capacity of helical bearing plates affixed to the pile shaft. See Section 4.1.4 of
this report.
• Allowable axial load capacity of the bracket. See Section 4.1.2 of this report.
4.1.7 Settlement Analysis: The pile head vertical movement at allowable load of a CHANCE® helical pile
may be estimated as the sum of the following: the movement at helix plates due to soil deformation and helix
plate deflection, and the shaft elastic shortening or lengthening. The corresponding equation is described
below:
∆total = ∆helix + ∆shaft (Equation 6)
where:
∆total = Total pile head vertical movement, in. (mm).
∆helix= Movement of helix plates within soil, in. (mm).
∆shaft= Shaft elastic shortening/lengthening, in. (mm).
The reliability of foundation system capacity and settlement predictions may be improved by performing full-
scale field tests at the construction site using piles of same configuration as the intended production piles.
[Link] Shaft Elastic Shortening and Lengthening: Elastic shortening or lengthening of a CHANCE® SS5,
SS175, RS2875.203, RS2875.276, RS3500, RS4500 or SS175/RS3500 combo shaft may be a significant
contributor to overall pile head movement under load for long piles. For loads up to and including the allowable
load limits found in the tables of this report, the length change can be estimated as:
∆shaft = P L/(A E) (Equation 7)
ESR-2794 Page 17 of 46

where:
∆shaft = Length change of shaft resulting from elastic shortening or lengthening, in (mm).
P = applied axial load, lbf (N).
L = effective length of the shaft, in. (mm). For SS175/RS3500 combo piles, an extra length of 6-inches
(152 mm) should be added to shaft length in order to accommodate deformation due to each transition
adaptor.
A = cross-sectional area of the shaft, see Table 1, in.2 (mm2).
E = Young's modulus of the shaft, may be taken as 29,000 ksi (200 000 MPa).
The effective length of the shaft, L, may be approximated as the average of the distances from the point of
load application to each helix plate.
[Link] Helix Movement: The evaluation of helix movement due to helix deformation, soil deformation, and
the helix-soil interaction, is beyond the scope of this evaluation report. It is recommended that the user of this
report consult with the helical pile manufacturer (Hubbell Power Systems, Inc.).
[Link] Coupler Slip: The slip of the helical pile coupler is 1/16 inch for Types SS5 and SS175, and 3/32 inch
for Type RS2875.203, RS2875.276, RS3500 and RS4500 at the allowable load per coupling. Coupler slip for
tension applications shall be included in pile settlement unless the pile is pre-loaded.
4.1.8 Foundation Design Documentation: The foundation design documentation, which is a part of the
approved construction documents and prepared by a registered design professional, must include at least the
following for each pile placement:
1. The manufacturer, helical pile configuration and catalog numbers of structural attachment bracket/ T-Pipe
assembly or pile cap, as appropriate.
2. Minimum pile tip embedment and minimum effective torsional resistance termination criteria. There must
be an explanation that the minimum effective torsional resistance is to be calculated as one of the
following:
a. The final torsional resistance for single-helix piles loaded in compression.
b. The average of the last three torsional resistance readings taken at 1-foot (305 mm) tip embedment
intervals, starting 2 feet (710 mm) prior to the final tip embedment, for all piles loaded in tension and
for multi-helix piles loaded in compression.
3. Maximum pile tip embedment, if appropriate.
4. Construction details for bracket connections to structures, prescriptively specifying at least the following
(as applicable):
a. Type and condition of the structure to be supported.
b. Bracing. Bracing in compliance with IBC Section 1810.2.2 is required for all structures to be supported
by CHANCE® Remedial Repair Brackets or New Construction Pile Caps.
c. Surface preparation.
d. Drill holes, bolts and washer plates.
e. Field welding.
f. Edge distance.
g. Concrete reinforcement.
h. Leveling grout.
i. The permissible angles of inclination for installation for the helical pile foundation systems (shafts and
brackets) are 3° ± 1° for Remedial Repair Brackets; 0° ± 1° for Direct Jack Brackets; and 0° ± 1°
(or aligned with vertical) for New Construction Pile Caps.
5. Construction details must also indicate that materials with different corrosion protection coatings must not
be combined in the same system and that the helical foundation systems must not be placed in electrical
contact with structural steel, reinforcing steel or any other metal building components.

4.2 Installation:
4.2.1 General:
1. The CHANCE® helical foundation systems must be installed in accordance with this section (Section 4.2),
IBC Section 1810.4.11, site-specific approved construction documents (engineering drawings and
specifications), and the manufacturer’s written installation instructions. In case of conflict, the most
stringent governs.
2. The CHANCE® helical foundation systems must be installed by Hubbell Power Systems trained and
certified installers. (At least one member of the installation crew must hold a current certification for basic
training conducted by Hubbell Power Systems personnel.)
3. The helical piles are typically installed using portable or machine-mounted rotary hydraulic motors capable
of exerting a torsional moment at least 10 percent higher than the maximum installation torque reported
in Tables 7, 9 and 9A for the pile model being installed and an axial force (crowd) sufficient to cause the
pile to penetrate the earth at a rate of approximately 3 inches (76.2 mm) per revolution. In addition,
equipment capable of measuring the torsional resistance experienced by the pile during installation to an
accuracy of ±10 percent of the minimum effective torsional resistance termination criterion specified in the
Foundation Design Documentation (see Section 4.1.8) must be utilized for installation quality control. The
foundation piles must be aligned both vertically and horizontally as specified in the approved plans.
4. The helical piles must be installed in a continuous manner with the pile advancing at a rate equal to at
least 2.5 inches (64 mm) per revolution at the time of final torque measurement. Installation speeds must
be limited to less than 25 revolutions per minute (rpm).
5. The foundation piles must be installed to the minimum pile tip embedment specified in the approved
construction documents, including the Foundation Design Documentation.
6. For tension applications, the pile shall be installed such that the minimum depth from the ground surface
to the uppermost helix is 12D, where D is the diameter of the largest helix. In cases where the installation
depth is less than 12D, the minimum embedment depth shall be determined by a registered design
professional based on site-specific soil conditions, which must be subject to the approval of the code
official. For tension applications where the helical pile is installed at an embedment depth less than 12D,
the torque-correlation soil capacity, P4, is outside the scope of this report.
7. The helical piles must be located in accordance with the approved plans and specifications.
4.2.2 Detailed Installation Procedures:
1. The drive tools (Kelly bar adapter, in-line torque indicator, if any, and pile drive adapter) must be
assembled in accordance with the published instructions, and the drive tool assembly must be attached
to the Kelly bar (if any) or the output shaft of the torque motor.
2. The pile lead section must be pinned into the drive adapter and must be secured with the coil-lock ring.
Only CHANCE® bent-arm pins and coil lock rings can be used for this purpose. Replacement pins and
coil-lock rings are available from Hubbell Power Systems and its distributors.
3. The tip of the lead section must be placed in the proper location according to the approved plans and
specifications.
4. The torque motor must be activated to begin installation.
5. The piles’ maximum installation torque rating must not be exceeded during the pile installations.
6. The installation must be stopped when the top of the lead section nears ground level.
7. If extension sections with helix plate(s) are to be used, they must be added in proper sequence in
accordance with the approved foundation plans. All coupling nuts must be tightened so the bolts achieve
a snug-tight condition as defined in Section J3 of AISC 360 (as a minimum, nuts must be tightened to one-
quarter turn beyond hand-tight condition). For SS175/RS3500 Como piles, a C1500895 Transition Adapter
must be added between the Model SS175 lead section and the first Model RS3500 extension in
accordance with the report holder’s installation instructions and this evaluation report.
8. The inclination angles must be in accordance with item 4i of Section 4.1.8 of this report.
9. The installation must be continued, using extensions without helix plates as necessary, until the minimum
tip embedment and the minimum effective torsional resistance specified in the foundation plans are both
met, unless one of the issues listed in Section 4.3, item 12, is encountered. All coupling nuts must be
tightened per step 7 of this Section (Section 4.2.2).
ESR-2794 Page 19 of 46

10. The remedial repair foundation bracket or new construction pile cap must be installed per the
manufacturer's published instructions and Section 4.2.4 or 4.2.5, respectively.
4.2.3 Field Quality Control Requirements:
1. A torque indicator that has been calibrated within the previous 12 months must be used for pile installation.
Torque indicators which utilize a correlation between torsional resistance and hydraulic pressure(s) in the
system supplying the torque motor must have been calibrated with the system that is used to make the
production installations.
2. Rotational speed between 5 and 25 rpm must be maintained.
3. Axial thrust (“crowd”) must be maintained in order to keep the pile moving between 21/2 and 31/2 inches
(64 and 88.9 mm) per revolution. It is especially important that this pile moving speed be maintained
whenever torsional resistance readings are being taken.
4. Alignment of the pile, drive tooling, Kelly bar (if any) and torque motor must be maintained to avoid inducing
bending moments into the pile shaft.
5. Torsional resistance must be monitored during the entire installation operation. The pile’s maximum
installation torque rating must not be exceeded.
6. Extension sections with helix plate(s) (if any) must be added in the proper sequence in accordance with
the foundation plans.
7. Torsional resistance must be recorded in embedment increments no greater than 5 feet (1524 mm) during
the entire installation and just before the installation is terminated.
8. When installing single-helix piles that will be loaded in tension and all multi-helix piles, torsional resistance
must be recorded at final tip embedment minus 2 feet (710 mm) and final embedment minus 1 foot
(305 mm), in addition to the resistance at final embedment.
9. The tip embedment and torsional resistance readings must be verified to meet or exceed the specified
termination criteria before terminating installation.
10. For single-helix compression piles, the final torsional resistance reading must be equal to or exceed the
specified minimum.
11. For multi-helix piles, the average of the final three torsional resistance readings must be equal to or exceed
the specified minimum.
4.2.4 Helical Piles with Remedial Repair Brackets (C1500121, C1500299, C1500147, C1500738
C1500840 and C1500841) Installation:
1. An area at each location adjacent to the building foundation must be excavated to expose the footing,
grade beam, stem wall or column. For the C1500121 and C1500299 brackets, the width of the exposed
area should be at least 18 inches (457 mm) and should extend 12 inches (305 mm) below the bottom of
the footing or grade beam. For the C1500147 bracket, the width of the exposed area should be at least
22 inches (559 mm) and should extend 22 inches (509 mm) below the bottom of the footing or grade
beam. For the C1500738, C1500840 and C1500841 brackets, the width of the exposed area should be at
least 16 inches (406 mm) and should extend 20 inches (508 mm) below the bottom of the footing or grade
beam.
2. Soil attached to the bottom of the footing or grade beam must be removed. The footing or grade beam
must be prepared by chipping away irregularities from the bottom and side faces. Notching the footing or
grade beam is recommended to allow the bracket to mount directly and adjacent to the load-bearing
wall/column, but must be performed with the approval of the registered design professional and the code
official. The vertical and horizontal surfaces of the footing or grade beam must be flat and reasonably
smooth before the bracket is mounted.
3. Reinforcing steel within the footing must not be cut without the approval of the registered design
professional and the code official.
4. The bearing surface of the concrete must be smooth, and free of all soil, debris and loose concrete, so as
to provide a firm bearing surface for the repair bracket.
ESR-2794 Page 20 of 46

5. The bracket to the foundation or grade beam must be connected by means of two concrete anchor bolts
described in Section 3.0 of this report. The installation of concrete anchors must be strictly in accordance
with the ICC-ES evaluation report noted in Section 3.0 of this report. A 6-inch (152 mm) minimum concrete
edge distance is required above and laterally (sideways) beyond concrete anchor bolts. An 8-inch
(203 mm) minimum concrete footing width measured in the direction of concrete anchor bolt embedment
is required.
6. The helical pile must be installed in accordance with Sections 4.2.1 through 4.2.3 of this report.
7. After the helical pile has been installed, any excess length must be cut off to allow for mounting to the
bracket.
8. The T-pipe must be placed on the helical pile and must be connected to the bracket with the bolts and
nuts provided with the bracket. The nuts must be tightened so the cross bolts achieve a snug-tight
condition as defined in Section J3 of AISC 360 (as a minimum, nuts must be tightened to one-quarter turn
beyond hand-tight condition), and the nuts (for the lifting bolts) must be tightened to one-quarter turn
beyond hand-tight condition.
9. A hydraulic jack must be placed on top of the T-pipe and must be connected to the bracket.
10. Lifting or stabilizing of the structure can be done by applying load with the hydraulic jack. Any lifting or
stabilizing of the structure must be verified by qualified personnel (a registered design professional) to
ensure that no part of the foundation, structure, or helical pile is overstressed.
11. Once the foundation has been raised or stabilized, the nuts (for lifting bolts) must be tightened to one-
quarter turn beyond hand-tight condition on the bracket bolts to secure the T-pipe and helical pile to the
bracket.
12. The hydraulic jack must then be removed.
13. The excavation must be backfilled with properly compacted soil. Excess soil and debris must be removed.
14. The full installation instructions are contained in the training manual available from Hubbell Power Systems
or online at the CHANCE University Certification website.

1. The lead helical section must be installed and successive extensions must be added as needed until the
termination criteria (such as torque and depth) prescribed in the Foundation Design Documentation are
met and the top of the shaft is at or above the required elevation. If necessary, the pile can be cut off in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions at the required elevation. The minimum embedment
depths into the footing or grade beam depicted in Figure 8 must be adhered to.
2. The new construction bracket must be placed over the top of the helical pile shaft and must be seated
firmly.
3. The concrete footing or grade beam must comply with IBC Section 1810.3.11 and this evaluation report.
The center of shaft must be at least 6-inch away from the end/corner of the concrete footing or grade
beam.
4. For fixed end condition and for piles that are used to resist tension forces, the shaft embedment depth into
the footing or grade beam must be at least 7.5 inches (1905 mm).
5. If the pile is to be used to resist tension forces, or if the pile’s shaft is RS2875.203, RS2875.276, RS3500,
or RS4500 and is intended to be used for Seismic Design Category D, E, or F in compression or tension,
then the embedment of the new construction bracket into the footing or grade beam and adequate steel
reinforcement in the concrete footing or grade beam as required for resisting tension loads must be
determined by a registered design professional, and the bracket must be through-bolted to the helical pile
shaft with at least one bolt and matching nut as specified in Sections 3.2 and 3.3. Multiple bolts may be
required as needed for the tension load. The nut must be tightened so the bolt achieves snug-tight
condition as defined in Section J3 of AISC 360 (as a minimum, nuts must be tightened to one-quarter turn
beyond hand-tight condition).
6. The steel reinforcing bars must be placed and the concrete must be poured according to the approved
construction documents. The concrete footing must be reinforced concrete, not plain concrete.
7. All helical pile components must be galvanically isolated from the concrete reinforcing steel and other
metal building components.

FIGURE 9—FORCES APPLIED TO FOUNDATION BY REMEDIAL REPAIR BRACKETS

Design Assumptions: The foundation and its interaction with soils beyond the pile excavation is sufficiently rigid to support the
inverted corbel action (torsion) due to the “offset” bracket bearing relative to the center of the foundation. Certain project conditions
(like “loose” stone/masonry foundation walls) may not comply with this design assumption. The foundation must be able to provide
adequate lateral restraint (bracing) for the shaft that is equal to or greater than 0.4 percent of the allowable axial compression load
of the pile.
