LATERAL LOAD CAPACITY OF PILE

Fixity Depth Calculation

Pile fixity condition at top = fixed

Type of Soil in fixity zone = Silty Sand

Allowable Pile Head Displacement = 5.0 mm

Modulus of subgrade reaction at fixity zone, K = 2070 KN-M^3

2
Elastic modulus of concrete, Ec = 5000 * SQRT(fck) = 25000 N/mm

= 25000000 kN/m2

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) = 2.960 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 = = 6.5 m

Fixity depth, in terms of diameter of pile = 10.85 times

the dia

Minimum Pile Length for lateral Capacity

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

Where, T = Relative stiffness factor = 2.96 m

Let us consider a minimum length of pile , Lmin = 4.3 times T = 12.7 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

E = Elastic modulus of pile material = 25000000 kN/m2

4
I = Moment of inertia = 0.0064 m

e = Unsupported length of pile = 0.00 m

zf = Fixity length of pile = 6.5 m

The horizontal capacity, H = 12*E*I*y / (e+zf)^3 = 34.53 kN

= 3.45 Ton
