CONCRETE FOUNDATION DESIGN

CALCULATION OF SAFE PULLOUT CAPACITY OF CONCRETE PILE

As per staad , the uplift force on foundation Fuplift = 5.07 KN

Total length of the pile in the soil H = 1.3 m
Dia of concrete pile Dpile = 250 mm
Density of concrete conc = 2400 kgf / m3
Density of soil soil = 1790 kgf / m3 ( as per soil report)
Angle of friction = = 30 0
Cohesion C = 15.7 KN/m2
Reduction factor = 0.3
Weight of pile Wtpile = /4 x Dpile2 x H x conc = 1.53 kN
Net uplift load on the column Fnet = Fuplift Wtpile = 3.54 kN
For uplift loads, the soil provides resistance from skin friction as well as from the
cohesion between soil and steel. Below are the formula considered from the
code.
Earth pressure coefficient K pc = 1
Surface area of the pit A pit = x D pile x H = 1.02 m2

As per IS 2911 ( part 1 / sec 2) , clause 5.3.1.1 ,

Resisting force due to skin friction
p1 = 0.5 x k pc x soil x H x A pit x tan()
P1 = 6.85 kN
Resisting force due to cohesion p2 = A pit x x C = 4.80 kN
Total resisting loads on pile with concrete p = p1 + p2 = 11.65 kN
Net allowable load after considering the factor of safety for soil
The minimum factor of safety shall be taken as 2.5 for the soil layers
Resisting loads for soils ps = p / 2.5 = 4.66 kN
As ps = 4.66 kN > Fnet = 3.54 kN
HENCE SAFE
Note :- 1) In this design even we are not considered pedestal height 100 mm
above ground .
2) Final depth of foundation will be finalized after pull out test results.
