METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONCRETE MIX TREATMENT DURING BORED PILE ERECTION Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC E02D5/38 E02D5/36 

FIELD: building, particularly to create bored piles in cased wells during building and building structure foundation erection.

SUBSTANCE: method involves heating ground surrounding place of pile erection and heating concrete mix with induction heater. The concrete mix is vibratory treated in pulsed mode at the beginning of heating operation by applying electromagnetic field generated by induction heater to metal reinforcement bars, wherein high-frequency current of induction heater is subjected to low-frequency modulation. At concrete mix setting beginning the pulsed mode is changed into high-voltage one. Device for above method realization comprises induction heater comprising steel pipe put on asbestos-cement pile casing pipe and winding made of copper coiled bus linked with high-frequency power source. The winding is connected to metal pipe. Diametrical longitudinal orifices are made in the steel pipe. The power source comprises circuit providing high-frequency current modulation with low frequency.

EFFECT: possibility of simultaneous heat and vibration application to concrete mix, reduced cost of the device along with reduced number of working tools, simplified control, provision of concrete shrinkage and compaction under heating, which is performed by single device.
