1.1 本规范阐述了圆形和矩形截面聚合物桩在轴向和横向承载应用中的使用，包括但不限于海洋、滨水和腐蚀性环境。 1.2 本规范仅适用于单个聚合物桩产品。板桩和其他使用互锁系统的机械连接聚合桩产品不属于本规范的一部分。 1.3 本文所述打桩产品的特点是使用聚合物，从而 (1) 桩的强度或刚度要求包含聚合物，或 (2) 至少百分之五十（50 %) 重量或体积的一半源自聚合物。第4节中描述的聚合物桩的类型分类显示了如何通过复合设计来增强其刚度或强度。 1.4 本规范涵盖了由原始材料、再生材料或两者兼而有之的材料制成的聚合物桩，只要成品符合本文规定的所有标准。聚合物打桩产品的制造允许使用多种类型和组合的无机填料系统。无机填料包括滑石、云母、二氧化硅、硅灰石、碳酸钙等材料。打桩通常在持续潮湿或潮湿暴露条件下使用。由于担心水的敏感性以及在这种使用条件下可能对机械财产产生的影响，有机填料，包括木质纤维材料，例如由木材、木粉、亚麻籽壳、稻壳、麦秸及其组合制成的材料，不允许用于聚合物桩产品的制造。 1.5 这些值以英寸-磅单位表示，因为这些单位目前是建筑行业最常用的单位。 1.6 本规范中的聚合物桩采用根据试验方法确定的设计应力进行设计 D6108型 , D6109型 和 D6112型 以及本规范中包含的程序，除非另有规定。 1.7 虽然在某些情况下，它将是桩设计的重要组成部分，但摩擦财产目前超出了本文件的范围。 1.8 聚合物桩的设计标准包含在本规范中。某些类型和尺寸的聚合物桩比其他桩更适合某些应用。根据本规范中定义的不同类型分类设计和制造的聚合物桩，整体而言- 机械财产范围。例如，10英寸。直径为II型的短切玻璃纤维增强高密度聚乙烯（HDPE）桩的表观刚度可能与10英寸。直径V型，填充混凝土的玻璃纤维增强复合管。同样，这两个示例桩的极限弯矩承载力也可能显著不同。因此，强烈建议在根据本规范设计和选择聚合物桩时使用持证专业工程师。 1.9 本标准并不旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的使用者有责任在使用前建立适当的安全、健康和环境实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 注1: 没有已知的ISO等同于本规范。 1.10 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒（TBT）委员会发布的《国际标准、指南和建议制定原则决定》中确立的国际公认标准化原则制定的。

1.1 This specification addresses the use of round and rectangular cross-section polymeric piles in axial and lateral load-bearing applications, including but not limited to marine, waterfront, and corrosive environments. 1.2 This specification is only applicable to individual polymeric pile products. Sheet pile and other mechanically connected polymeric pile products using inter-locking systems, are not part of this specification. 1.3 The piling products considered herein are characterized by the use of polymers, whereby (1) the pile strength or stiffness requires the inclusion of the polymer, or (2) a minimum of fifty percent (50 %) of the weight or volume is derived from the polymer. The type classifications of polymeric piles described in Section 4 show how they can be reinforced by composite design for increased stiffness or strength. 1.4 This specification covers polymeric piles fabricated from materials that are virgin, recycled, or both, as long as the finished product meets all of the criteria specified herein. Diverse types and combinations of inorganic filler systems are permitted in the manufacturing of polymeric piling products. Inorganic fillers include such materials as talc, mica, silica, wollastonite, calcium carbonate, etc. Pilings are often placed in service where they will be subjected to continuous damp or wet exposure conditions. Due to concerns of water sensitivity and possible affects on mechanical properties in such service conditions, organic fillers, including lignocellulosic materials such as those made or derived from wood, wood flour, flax shive, rice hulls, wheat straw, and combinations thereof, are not permitted in the manufacturing of polymeric piling products. 1.5 The values are stated in inch-pound units as these are currently the most common units used by the construction industry. 1.6 Polymeric piles under this specification are designed using design stresses determined in accordance with Test Methods D6108 , D6109 , and D6112 and procedures contained within this specification unless otherwise specified. 1.7 Although in some instances it will be an important component of the pile design, frictional properties are currently beyond the scope of this document. 1.8 Criteria for design are included as part of this specification for polymeric piles. Certain Types and sizes of polymeric piles will be better suited for some applications than others. Polymeric piles designed and manufactured under the different Type classifications as defined within this specification will, as a whole, exhibit a wide-range of mechanical properties. For example, a 10-in. diameter Type II, chopped glass fiber reinforced high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pile will likely have an apparent stiffness much different than a 10-in. diameter Type V, glass fiber reinforced composite tube filled with concrete. Similarly, the ultimate moment capacity of these two example piles will also likely be significantly different from each other. Use of a licensed Professional Engineer is, therefore, highly recommended for designing and selecting polymeric piles in accordance with this specification. 1.9 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. Note 1: There is no known ISO equivalent to this specification. 1.10 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
