Foundation
Define Pile foundation.

Function of
Piles
Transmit a foundation load to the ground.
Resist vertical, lateral and uplift load.

Classification of Piles
End bearing piles.
Friction piles.
Combination of friction and cohesion

piles.

Pile Arrangement and

Spacing
S = 2.5 (d) + 0.02 (L)

Concrete grade 40000KN/m2 for slabs.

26

There were two different sections for

:the wall
Thickness = 50cm
Thickness = 60cm

27

There were two different columns

sections:
COL. = 110X50 cm
COL. = 100X50 cm

28

There were two different slabs with thickness of :

Slab = 30 cm
Slab = 25 cm

Inserting the piles dimension:
Pile 1 = 9 m
Pile 2 = 10 m

38

There were two rafts with different

thickness:
Raft1 thickness = 1.5 m
Raft 2 thickness = 2 m

Retaining Wall Design

Earth pressures will push the wall forward or

overturn it if not properly addressed.

Any groundwater behind the wall that is not

dissipated by a drainage system causes an

additional horizontal hydrostatic pressure on
the wall.

51

 A wall was Drawn for two

basement floors

52

Design of Retaining Wall

Assumptions made before design:

Unit weight of the soil = 17 KN/m3

Unit weight of the water = 9.81 KN/m3
Earth pressure coefficient ka= 0.5
Surcharge load = 5 KN/m

53

Design Steps Using

ETABs Program
Then values for the loads were

entered:

54

Earth
Pressure

Earth Pressure= ()(Ka)(height) = (17)(0.5)(6) =51KN/m2

55

Surcharge
Pressure
Surcharge Pressure = (5)(Ka)= (5)(0.5)=2.5 KN/m2

56

Water
Pressure
Water Pressure=()(height)=(9.81)(2)=19.62KN/m2

Project Feasibility
Pile foundations spread over the

entire area of the building under

vertical loads.
