DESIGN OF SINGLE PILE CAP

DATA:Pile Diameter

: 400 mm

Column Dimension B x D
Axial

: 400 x 600 mm

Load

: 600 KN

Concrete Mix

: M20

Steel Grade

: Fe 415

DESIGN : 1. Pile Cap Dimension :

Width of Pile Cap = ( hp + 2 x 150 ) = 400 + 150 + 150 = 700 mm
Depth of Pile cap

= 2 hp + 100 = 2 x 400 + 100 = 900 mm.

2. Net Upward Pressure :

Pu = 1.5 x 600

= 900 KN

Upward Pressure =

900

= 1836.73 KN / m

0.7x 0.7
3. Bending Moment :Projection = 0.70 0.40

= 0.15 m

B.M. in Pile cap at section A A

Mu = 1836.73 x 0.15 /2 = 20.66 KN.m

4. Check for effective depth :

2

Mu = 0.138 fck b d = 20.66 x 10

d required = (20.66 x 10 ) / 2.76 x 700

= 103.40 mm

D provided = 900 mm
d available = 900 60 -12- 6 = 822 mm > d required i.e. 103.4 mm
5. Check for Punching Shear : As single Pile is provided, the cap has to be checked for punching shear.
Area resisting punching = (600 x 2 + 400x 2) x 822
=( 2000 x 822 ) mm
Punching stress

= 900 x 10

2000 x 822

= 0.550N/mm

< 1.12 N/mm

6. Main Reinforcement : Mu

= 20.66 KN.m
2

K = Mu / bd = 20. 66 x 10
700 x 822

= 0.04 < Table value

Minimum Ast = 0.12 x 700 x 822 = 690.48 mm

100
Provide 12 mm Dia RTS @ 110 mm c/c both ways at bottom.
Provide same at top along perpendicular direction of main reinforcement.
7. Check for one way shear :Shear force at section A A at a distance d/2 = 822 /2 = 411 mm from face of
column = 1836.73 x 0.15 x 0.70 = 275.51 KN
Shear stress = 275.51 x 10

= 0.48 N/mm

822 x 700
Ast provided = 113 x 700/110 = 719.71 mm
Pt = 719.71 x 100

= 0.13 % < Minimum Pt of Table value of shear stress

700 x 822
For Pt = 0.20% c from Table 61 of Design Aid to IS 456 -1978 = 0.33 N /mm
-3

Balance shear Vus =275.51 (0.33 x 700 x 822 x 10 ) =85.628 KN.

Vus /d = 85.628 / 82.2 =1.042 KN/cm
Provide 8 RTS 2 legged stirrups @ 150 mm c/c.
