Sample calculation of pile capacity
shows for P25 at page 20. Please
correct.
Please ensure that pile capacity has
been calculated for submerged
condition as this is a river bridge.
Free length mentioned in P1, P4
and P6 pile capacity calculation is
27, 22 and 22m respectively.
Please check
Almost all bores are similar but
capacity for 22m pile is around 400
T in two bores and around 200T in
one bore. Please recheck.
N value of the bores is high at top
and decreases as we go deep.
Need to be rechecked. Also
corrected N value shall be
provided.
Lithology mentioned is silty clay
mixed with pebbles but c=0 and phi
=33/34. Need to be relooked
Please mention bore log top RL and
Northing Easting of the bore.
Please provide silt factor for
calculation of scour.
Revision
Corrected
Water safety factor 1 used for submerged condition.
But during investigation ground water table meet up to
6 to 7 m below NGL. Below 7 m hard dry clay mixed
with pebbles meet also the dry density tested in lab
between 1.87 gm/cc to 1.49 gm /cc in Clayey lyre and
1.99 gm/cc in sand mixed with gravels lyres .
Soil samples re- testes in lab in saturated condition For
submerged structure the values recorded from
1.22gm/cc to 1.33 gm/cc.
Rechecked and re-calculated depth wise as 1.5m
interval. In calculation sheet calculated from 1.5m
depth. And also in Recommendation table for 1.5m to
30m at 1.5m interval.
Rechecked
N -Value of Top soil Lyre are recorded high due to the
reason of Non-Cohesive material meet in this soil lyre.
i.e. Silty sand Boulders Gravels etc. its therefore in the
field tests we have used DCPT tests instead of SPT.
In Non Cohesive soils tests in lab meet C=0 and phi in
between 31 degree to 34 degree. In top soil lyre only.
We have already requested to your surveyors to sent
us data of RL and Coordinates.
In Geotech report Page No 15,16 and 17 Calculation of
silt factor given for upper scour able depth i.e 2.5 to 3
m for Center river piers.
