Abstract: A steel pipe pile includes an elongated cylindrical steel pipe pile body with an open end and a helical wing fixed on an outer circumference of the pile body at a predetermined height range from the open end. The wing includes a wing edge extending outward from the outer circumference of the open end, and a wing body extending continuously with the wing edge and extending helically along the outer circumference and toward an upper side of the pile body. The open end includes an opening slanted in a radial direction of the pile body and a distal backside that is defined by a remaining circumference of the pile body. An upper end of the slanted opening is above the wing edge, and the distal backside has a point intersecting with a line orthogonal to a line connecting the wing edge and a center of the pile body.

Abstract: A steel pipe pile having pile bearing capacity without disturbing the surrounding ground during installation. The steel pipe pile including a first steel pipe pile that has a hollow steel pipe and a first helical fin on the outer periphery thereof from one end toward the other end at a constantly equal pitch; and a second steel pipe pile that has a hollow steel pipe and a helical fin on the outer periphery thereof from one end toward the other end at a constantly equal pitch and that is joined at an end to the other end of the first steel pipe pile, the pitch of the first helical fin and the pitch of the second helical fin being equal, and the first helical fin and second helical fin being continuous along an imaginary helix at the joint between the first steel pipe pile and the second steel pipe pile.

Abstract: Since the distal backside is provided on a rear side of a wing edge in an entering direction, when a steel pipe pile is rotationally driven into the ground, the distal backside resists against the rotation moment with the wing edge at the center. Thus, while avoiding the off-centered movement of the steel pipe pile and ensuring linearity, the steel pipe pile can be penetrated into the ground. Further, since a slanted opening is provided at a front side of the wing edge in the entering direction, soil excavated in accordance with the rotational drive into the ground can be smoothly introduced into the steel pipe pile body through the slanted opening. Thus, while restraining the ground resistance in accordance with the entering, the soil introduced into the steel pipe pile body can be pushed upward, thereby reducing an increase in the penetration resistance caused by clogging within the pipe.

Abstract: To provide a steel pipe pile capable of ensuring pile bearing capacity without disturbing the surrounding ground during installation.
