= kN
=
Maximum lateral load 2= kN
=
N values from the soil report
minimum N value 42

PILE TYPE : BORED CAST -IN-SITU

VERTICAL AND UPLIFT CAPACITY AS PER CLAUSE B-4.2 OF IS 2911
Vertical Capacity
Ultimate Vertical Capacity Qu = 10N(L/B) Ap+NAs/0.60 (End Bearing + Skin Friction)
D (Diameter of pile) = 0.3 m
Average SPT N along the shaft = 42
L (Length below ground) = 1.5 m
As (Surface area of Pile shaft) = 1.414 m2
Ap (Cross Sectional Area) = 0.071 m2
FOS (Factor Of Safety) = 2.5
Qu = 247.4 kN
Allowable Vertical Capacity Qa = 99.0 kN

Uplift Capacity
Ultimate Uplift Capacity Qu = NAs/0.60
Qu = 99.0 kN
FOS (Factor Of Safety) = 3 (Considering no Load Tests)
Self weight of pile = 1.6 kN
Allowable Uplift Capacity Qa = 34.6 kN

Lateral Capacity (Brom's approach)

3
Ultimate Lateral Capacity Hu = 0.5 x γ’ x D x L x KP / (e + L)
Kp (Passive earth pressure) = (1 + sinφ) / (1 - sinφ)
e (eccentricity) = 0.25 m
3
kN/m ( assumed since data is
γ’ 17.0
= not available)
φ (friction angle) = 33.0 0
FOS (Factor Of Safety) = 2.5
Kp = 3.4
Hu = 16.7 kN
Allowable Lateral Capacity = 6.7 kN
