PRE CAST PILE DESIGN GREEN POWER DEVELOPMENT

Foundations: precast concrete piles

Adopting Hiley's formula to asses pile capacity for compresssive load under dynamic conditions as per
Reinforced concrete designers hand book Charles E Reynolds and James C Steedman

Pile size (square) = 300 mm

Pile length (upto SPT 50) = 6500 mm Bore hole 1
Weight of hammer, w = 30 kN
Actual drop of free falling hammer, h1 = 900 mm
Factor for hammer drop = 0.8 Reynolds hand book Tb.193
Weight of helmet, dolly & stationary parts
of hammer, p1 = 5 kN
Weight of single pile, p2 = 14.04 kN
Total Weight, P = p1 + p2
= 19.04 kN
P/W = 0.63
Efficiency of blow, e = 0.65 Reynolds hand book Tb.193
Compression factor, c (medium driving cdn) = 0.24 Reynolds hand book Tb.193
Peneteration per blow = 4 mm
Number of blows for final unit length of
peneteration, n = 0.25 no
Non Dimensional factor, 1 = 25.4 mm Reynolds hand book Tb.193

Effective drop of hammer, H1 = 720 mm

Settlement load, Wm = {(w x H1 x e x n) / (1 + 1 x c x n)} + w + P

= 1440 kN Reynolds hand book Tb.193

Factor of saftey, k = 0.33 Reynolds hand book Tb.193

Working load = k x Wm

Working load (including weight of pile) = 480 kN

Working load (without weight of pile) = 466 kN
