@Shiva Gaire.

But what measures to be adopted while concreting a deep pile? Obviously, its depth is much more than what to do?

To prevent segregation i.e. zero segregation, 1m. The permissible height with some segregation which does not affect strength is 1.5m.

Agree, The exact answer is 1.5 meter.

As per clause 13.2 of IS 456: 2000, the maximum permissible free fall of concrete to avoid segregation may be taken as 1.5 m or 150 cm.

Maximum It is 1.5m and this standard practice followed through out the world.

As per my knowledge, 100cm is the correct answer if height more than 100cm than segregation start.

Minimum height is 1.2 m.

Mehul Parmar said:   6 years ago
150 cm because they ask for maximum value, not minimum. So as per IS 456:2000 it is 1.5 m maximum and 1.0 m minimum height.
