  1. PILE FOUNDATION

  2. Brief Outline DEFINITION OF PILE CLASSIFICATION OF PILE PILE CAPACITY SETTLEMENT OF PILES AND PILE GROUP LATERAL LOADED PILES (Seismic Consideration) SUMMARY

  3. Piles – What? • Piles are columnar elements in a foundation which have the function of transferring load from the superstructure through weak compressible strata or through water, onto stiffer or more compact and less compressible soils or onto rock.

  4. Piles – When? • When the strata at or just below the ground surface is highly compressible and very weak to support the load transmitted by the structure. • When the plan of the structure is irregular relative to its outline and load distribution. • for the transmission of structural loads through deep water to a firm stratum. • to resist horizontal forces in addition to support the vertical loads. • when the soil conditions are such that a wash out, erosion or scour of soil may occur from underneath a shallow foundation. • To resist uplift forces - transmission towers, off-shore platforms • expansive soils - swell or shrink as the water content changes. • Collapsible soils

  5. Some Examples Multistoried Building Resting on Piles

  6. Some Examples Piles Used to Resist Uplift Forces

  7. Some Examples Piles used to Resist lateral Loads

  8. Classification of Piles • Based on Material • Steel Piles, Concrete Piles, Timber Piles, Composite Piles. • Based on Load Transfer • End Bearing Piles, Friction Piles, Combined End bearing and Friction Piles • Based on Method of Installation • Driven Piles, Driven Cast-in-situ Piles, Bored and Cast-in-situ Piles, Screw Piles, Jacked Piles. • Based on Use • Load Bearing Piles, Compaction Piles, Sheet Piles, Fender Piles, Anchor Piles. • Based on Displacement of Soil • Displacement Piles, Non-Displacement Piles.

  9. Selection of Piles • Length of pile in relation to the load and type of soil • Character of structure • Availability of materials • Type of loading • Factors causing deterioration • Ease of maintenance • Estimated costs of types of piles, taking into account the initial cost, life expectancy and • Cost of maintenance • Availability of funds

  11. Load Transfer Mechanism

  12. Types of Failure of Piles Buckling in very weak surrounding soil

  13. Types of Failure of Piles General Shear Failure in Strong Lower Soil

  14. Types of Failure of Piles Soil of Uniform Strength

  15. Types of Failure of Piles Low Strength Soil in Lower Layer, Skin Friction Predominates

  16. Types of Failure of Piles Skin Friction in Tension

  17. Carrying Capacity of Piles • Using Theory (c,φ) • Using SPT value • Using SCPT Value • Using Dynamic Formula • Pile Load Test Static Formula In-situ Penetration Tests

  18. STATIC METHOD • Qu = Ultimate failure load • Qp or Qb = Point (base or tip) resistance • Qs = Shaft resistance developed by friction (or adhesion) between the soil and the pile shaft

  19. STATIC METHOD FOR DRIVEN PILES IN SAND • End Bearing Capacity • Frictional Resistance • Ultimate Load

  20. STATIC METHOD FOR DRIVEN PILES IN CLAY • End Bearing Capacity • Frictional Resistance • Net Ultimate Load Net Bearing Capacity

  21. Problem 1 • A concrete pile of 45 cm diameter was driven into sand of loose to medium density to a depth of 15m. The following properties are known: (a) Average unit weight of soil along the length of the pile, y = 17.5 kN/m3 , average φ = 30°, (b) average Ks = 1.0 and δ= 0.750. Calculate (a) the ultimate bearing capacity of the pile, and (b) the allowable load with Fs = 2.5. Assume the water table is at great depth.

  22. Solution • Qu = 1841 kN • Qa = 736 kN

  23. Problem 2 • Assume in Ex. 1 that the water table is at the ground surface and γsat= 18.5 kN/m3. All the otherdata remain the same. Calculate Qu and Qa.

  24. Solution • Qu = 914 kN • Qa = 366 kN

  25. Calculation of Qb and Qf • Vesic • Tomlinson • Berezantsev • Meyerhof • Janbu • Coyle and Castello

  28. Driven Piles - Advantages • Piles of any size, length and shape can be made in advance and used at the site. – rapid progress of work • Driven into granular soil - compacts the adjacent soil mass - increase in bearing capacity • The work is neat and clean • Supervision of work at the site can be reduced to a minimum. • Storage space required is very much less. • In places where it is advisable not to drill holes for fear of meeting ground water under pressure. • For works over water such as piles in wharf structures or jetties.

  29. Driven Piles - Disadvantages • Must be properly reinforced to withstand handling stresses during transportation and driving. • Advance planning is required for handling and driving. • Requires heavy equipment for handling and driving. • Since the exact length required at the site cannot be determined in advance, the method involves cutting off extra lengths or adding more lengths - increased cost of project • Driven piles are not suitable in soils of poor drainage qualities – Soil heaving or lifting • Where the foundations of adjacent structures are likely to be affected due to the vibrations generated by the driving of piles, driven piles should not be used.

  30. Bored Piles - Advantages • Piles of any size and length may be constructed at the site. • Damage due to driving and handling that is common in precast piles is eliminated in this case. • Ideally suited in places where vibrations of any type are required to be avoided to preserve the safety of the adjoining structure. • suitable in soils of poor drainage qualities

  31. Bored Piles - Disadvantages • Requires careful supervision and quality control of all the materials used in the construction. • It needs sufficient storage space for all the materials used in the construction. • The advantage of increased bearing capacity due to compaction in granular soil that could be obtained by a driven pile is not produced by a cast-in-situ pile. • where there is heavy current of ground water flow or artesian pressure - very difficult to construct

  32. Based on SPT Values • Displacement piles For H- piles • Bored Piles Where Quultimate total load in kN Ncoraverage corrected SPT value below pile tip corrected average SPT value along the pile shaft Ab base area of pile in m2 (for H-piles including the soil between the flanges) As shaft surface area in m2

  34. Vander Veen’s Method • Ultimate load capacity of pile • Pile base resistance, • Ultimate skin friction
