LATERAL LOAD CAPACITY OF PILE

Fixity Depth Calculation
Pile fixity condition at top = fixed
Type of Soil in fixity zone = Sand Gravel
Allowable Pile Head Displacement = 5.0 mm
Modulus of subgrade reaction at fixity zone, K = 3696 KN-M^3
2
Elastic modulus of concrete, Ec = 5000 * SQRT(fck) = 25000 N/mm
2
= 25000000 kN/m
where, D = Diameter of the pile = 0.60 m
4
Moment of inertia of Pile, I = 3.14 /64 *D^4 = 0.006 m
Relative Stiffness factor, R = (EI/K)^(1/4) = 2.561 m
Unsupported length of pile, L1 = 0.0 m
Ratio of L1/T or L1/R = 0.00
(From Groom Graph or Table of values)
Lf/T or Lf /R = = 2.2
Therefore, Fixity Depth , Lf = = 5.6 m
Fixity depth, in terms of diameter of pile = 9.39 times
the dia

Minimum Pile Length for lateral Capacity

Minimum Pile Length for flexible pile, Lmin = > 4T

Where, T = Relative stiffness factor = 2.56 m
Let us consider a minimum length of pile , Lmin = 4.3 times T = 11.0 m
Horizontal Capacity of the Pile

Pile fixity condition at top = fixed

The horizontal capacity, H = 12*E*I*y / (e+zf)^3
Where, y = Diaplacement of pile at head = 0.005 m
2
E = Elastic modulus of pile material = 25000000 kN/m
4
I = Moment of inertia = 0.0064 m
e = Unsupported length of pile = 0.00 m
zf = Fixity length of pile = 5.6 m
The horizontal capacity, H = 12*E*I*y / (e+zf)^3 = 53.33 kN
= 5.33 Ton
