SELECTION OF TYPE OF PILES Availability of space and head room Proximity to structures Reliability – driven precast better Limitation of length- driven piles – 25 - 30 m 33
SOCKETTING IN ROCK For the end bearing piles Sound relatively homogenous rock including granite and gneiss -- 1 to 2D Moderately weathered closely formed including schist & slate ---- 2 to 3D Soft rock --- 3 to 4D 34
SEQUENCING OF PILING Normally from centre to periphery or from one side to other Possibility of harm to adjacent piles be considered. More damage in compact soils Order of installation should avoid creating a compacted block of ground In stiff clay or compacted sand layers – from center to outward or from one edge to across the group In very soft soils – from outside to inside 35
SPACING OF PILES Determined based on the Type of soil Empirical approach Practical aspects of installing a pile Nature of load transfer Possible reduction in bearing capacity of a group of piles 36
SPACING OF PILES For end bearing piles Governed by competency of bearing strata Not less than 2.5 D For friction piles Sufficiently apart to avoid overlapping zones Not less than 3 D Closure spacing possible in loose sand or fillings for driven piles only Max spacing 4 D 37
LOAD CARRYING CAPACITY OF PILE In context of foundation engineering Load that a pile can carry without undergoing continuous settlement for insignificant load increments – by virtue of its boundary conditions Failure of surrounding soil occurs before failure of pile material 38
FACTORS INFLUENCING PILE CAPACITY Surrounding soil Installation technique Spacing of piles Symmetry of the group Location of pile cap Shape of pile cap Location of pile in a group Drainage conditions in soil 39
LOAD CARRYING CAPACITY OF SINGLE PILE Dynamic pile formula – by using the data obtained during piling ( conservation of energy) Hiley’s Formula More reliable for non-cohesive soils Not reliable for cohesive soils Static formula – using soil test results Load test – after 4 weeks of casting of pile Resistance due to skin friction available only below scour line Drag down force 40

PILE LOAD TESTING (IS-2911 PART-IV) Initial Test Purpose Determination of ultimate load capacity and arrival at safe load by application of factor of safety, To provide guidelines for setting up the limits of acceptance for routine tests, To get an idea of suitability of piling system, and To have a check on calculated load by dynamic or static approaches. 57
PILE LOAD TESTING (IS-2911 PART-IV) The number of initial tests may be selected as given below depending upon the nature of sub-strata, number of piles and past experience at the site. For small size projects (for piles less than 1 000 numbers), a minimum of two tests. For large size projects (for piles more than 1 000 numbers), a minimum of two tests for first 1 000 piles and additional one test for every additional 1 000 piles and part thereof. The frequency of testing stipulated above is applicable for each diameter of pile and rated capacity of pile in each type (mode) of loading. The number of tests may be increased/decreased depending upon whether the strata is erratic/uniform, subjected to a minimum of two tests. 58
PILE LOAD TESTING (IS-2911 PART-IV) Routine Test On ½ percent of piles, can be increased to 2% depending on strata Purpose Checking the safe load as determined from static analysis Detection of any unusual performance contrary to the findings of the initial test, if already done; and Workmanship. 59
PILE LOAD TESTING (IS-2911 PART-IV) Routine Test The piles to be tested for routine tests may preferably be selected on the basis of the following: Abnormal variation in concrete consumption. Sudden drop in concrete level during construction of piles. Problems encountered during boring and tremie operation. Significant variation in depth of pile with respect to other adjoining piles and boring record. Anomalies observed during the driving operation in case of driven piles. Piles under sensitive locations of structures. Any doubt arising from non destructive test results. 60
