COMPUTATION OF SAFE AXIAL COMPRESSIVE PILE CAPACITY

BY STATIC ANALYSIS
Analysis in accordance with IS 2911 Part 1 Section 2-1979 Reaffirmed 1997
Project : DMRC CC-30 : Estimation of Pile Capacity for Elevated Corridor of
Existing Metro Line for using in settlement analysis

Pile Type : Bored Cast in Situ RCC Pile Loading : Axial Compression
The safe pile capacity is computed as :
Qsafe=(1/FS){Σ1 to n[(αc+pktanδ)AsL]+[(cNc+pNq+0.5D γ Nγ)Ap]}
where :
Qsafe = safe axial pile capacity, Tonnes FS = Factor of safety
α = adhesion factor p = overburden pressure, T/m2
friction angle between soil and pile, L = Pile segment length in selected
δ =
degrees ( = φ ) layer
c = cohesion intercept, T/m2 k = earth pressure coefficient
γ = effective density of soil, T/m3 D = Pile diameter
Nc , Nq , Nγ = Bearing capacity factors, which are a
As = Pile surface area per m length
function of φ
n = number of layers Ap = Pile end bearing area
Pile Cross section : Circle Pile cut-off Level (COL) : 2.75 m
Pile Diameter ,D : 1500 mm
Pile Surface Area, As =

4.712 m /m length Pile cross-section Area, Ap = 1.767 m2
Overburden Pressure to be considered below : 2.75 m
Consider overburden pressure to 20 pile diameters, i.e. 30.0 m below 2.8 m
become constant below : i.e. 32.8 m below 0.0 m
