In view of the very poor bearing capacity of the soil,either gravity or cantilever retaining walls are not economical.It is proposed to support the wall on base slab supported by longitudinal beams,which are supported on piles. As per the clause 5.6.2 of IS 2911(1)-1,the minimum spacing between friction piles should not be less than 3 times the diametre of the shaft,hence transverse spacing of 1.35m is adopted. Hence,total width of the pile cap = 2.30m 2.00m in longitudinal direction

Two rows of 450mm dia Bored cast-in-situ straight piles are proposed at spacing of

Computation of total vertical load on the pile :i)Self weight of pile = ii)Self weight of wall(2.00m length on two piles) = iii)Self weight of pile cap = iv)Self weight of beam = v)Weight of earth on heel side = vi)Weight of earth on toe side = 2453.13kg 3375.00kg 2300.00kg 500.00kg 8413.20kg 1003.68kg 18045.01kg

The total lateral load due to earth pressure on the wall = Deduct lateral force to be resisted by the pile cap-cum-beam system =

17385.55Kg -2361.60Kg 15023.95Kg

Hence,the pile needs to be designed for safe vertical load carrying capacity of Similarly,it needs to be designed for lateral load carrying capacity of ii)Design of pile :a)Safe vertical load carrying capacity:-

18.05t 7.51t

To estimate the safe bearing capacity of pile, the ultimate bearing capacity of pile is calculated. Static formulae are used in estimating ultimate bearing capacity of pile. As per Appendix A of IS 2911(1)-1 Ultimate bearing capacity of a pile is given by , Qu = Q s + Q p Where Qs = Skin frictional resistance, Qp = End bearing resistance In the present case,the pile passes through the fine sand for a depth of 8.40m(As per soil testing report) Qs = fs x As fs = K Pdi tan Where, K = coefficient of earth pressure; Pdi = average effective overburden pressure in kgf/cm = angle of wall friction between pile and soil in degrees(To be taken equal to ) As = surface area of pile Effective overburden preesure at top of the pile = 960.00Kg/sqm

Effective overburden preesure at the level of pile tip = (Upto Water Table + After water table)

5598.40Kg/sqm

Average effective overburden pressure along pile shaft Pdi = Hence Qs = Qp = qp x Ap qp = Pdi (Nq-1) Where, Pdi = Effective overburden pressure at tip of the pile in kgf/cm Nq = Bearing capacity factor as per Fig.1 of IS 2911(1)-1 Ap = End bearing area of pile Nq = Pdi = Ap = 40 5598.4Kg/sqm 0.20sqm Hence,Qp = 43667.52kg 4822.52kg

3279.20Kg/m

Ultimate bearing capacity of pile =

48490.04kg

Applying a factor of safety of 2, allowable safe bearing capacity =

24.25t

b)Lateral load carrying capacity:Case1:- Pile considered as short fixed head pile embedded in cohesion less soil The pile considered as short restrained(Fixed head) pile embedded in cohesionless soil.As per Broom's theory,failure takes place when the load applied to the pile is equal to the ultimate lateral resistance of the soil Pu = 1.5 L d Kp Where, L = Length of embeddment d = Diametre of pile Kp = Coefficient of passive earth pressure Hence Pu = 100000.00kg 33.33t
2

Safe lateral load carrying capacity = (Applying a factor of safety of 3)

Case2:- Pile considered as short fixed head pile embedded in normally consolidated clay The lateral load capacity of the pile is estimated as per the layer of soil situated at the ground level, as it will have the major contribution in the lateral load capacity of pile. As the top most soil layer is normally consolidated clay,

T = (EI/h) E = 5000fck = I= For medium sand h = T= 1.71 2.500m 25000000

5260.00KN/cum

From Figure 2 of IS: 2911 (Part 1)-19793, depth of fixity L f =

As the pile is short pile,the length of fixity is greater than the actual length,hence actual length is to be considered for design. Hence,lateral load capacity of fixed head pile is calculated as, Q = 12EIY/L3 where, Y = limiting lateral deflection of pile head = 5 mm for bridge substructures Hence Q = 294.72KN 29.47t

Load carrying capacity is taken as average of the above two values

31.40t

c)Structural design of pile:Now,the fixed end moment of the equivalent cantilever is given by Mu = Q(Lf)/2 = 9.39t-m =93.90KNm 77.00KNm 270.75KN 115.50KNm 0.75 0.03 0.043 0.037 0.15 1471.88sqmm 7.324243631

Applying a reduction factor of 0.82 as per IS 2911(PartI)-I,the moment = The pile is to be designed for axial load Pu = and moment of Mu = Assuming percentage of steel p = p/fck = Pu/fckD2 = Mu/fckD3 = d'/D = Area of steel required =

Using 16mm dia HYSD bars,No.of bars required for each pile = Hence provide 8 Nos of 16mm dia bars for each pile Provide 8mm ties at 200mm c/c Hence,the safe lateral load carrying capacity of pile is
