Anyone have experience with hollow-spun piles for marine use (my situation being for floating marinas, so subjected to cyclic loading). I have heard that the spot-welding of the spiral cage to the prestressing strands causes low-fatigue life(?) A brief internet search revealed only foreign manufacturers of these piles; does that mean there is no current American standard, ASTM or otherwise? Thank you,
