Pile
Date: 14/12/2014
Assumed data:
Design Assumptions:
Contribution from top soil strata has been neglected during calculations.
Pile is designed as purely socketed and end bearing pile in rock.
Vertical Pile capacity is calculated based on above given and assumed data.
As per IS permissible lateral deflection at pile head 4mm
DESIGN CALCULATION
Qu Ap b Asi f
Qu = 1450 kN .(Given)
= 987.8 kN
(' f ' is the reduction factor as recommended by Tomlinson, M.J. in "Design and Construction of
Pile Foundations", Chapter 6.2.2, Page No. 213.)
In absence of relevant data it can be assumed as 5%. = 72.5 kN (for a permissible lateral
deflection of pile head = 4 mm as per IS 2911 )
Recommendation:
For the above given and assumed data, a pile of 700 mm diameter with socketing length of 5
times diameter should be provided.
In absensce of data, pile should be terminated as per the ‘pile terminating criteria’ given relevant
IS code.
