PILE FOUNDATION DESIGN Manual calculation ( IS 2911-Part 1&3, IS 456)

A group of 4 piles of square shape
Diameter of pile= 300mm; c/c distance spacing = 3x dia= 1.5 m;
Load on each pile Max Fy = 550 kg= 5500 N = 5.5 kN
As soil bearing capacity report is not available with client, std. black cotton soil data are taken as
follows for surat, Gujarat,India Location.
Qui = Load bearing capacity of individual pile
Qs=Load bearing capacity of soil

2
 Qp= Load bearing capacity of pile
Qgu= Load bearing capacity of group piles
Ap=Area of a pile
Cu(p)=Cohesion of individual pile = 75 kN
Please correct the "Unit" & include the basis for this value
Cu=Cohesion of pile = 75 kN
P=Perimeter = 1.2 m
α = Adhesion factor = 0.6
L=Length of pile = 3 m Please correct the length to 3.5m
n1= Number of piles in row =2
n2 = Number of piles in column =2
pg=Perimeter of group piles = 8 m
qp= Bearing capacity per unit area of group piles = 150 kN/m2
Nc *= Shape factor
Cohesion = 75.5 kN Please correct the "Unit" & include the basis for this value
Material RCC – M20
Material steel – Fe425

Qp = Ap(9 Cu(p)) = π /4(0.3)2 x (9x75) = 47.7 kN

Qs =∑αPCuL (We get the “α” value from graph) = 0.6 x 2 π x .140x 75 x 3.5= 138.5 kN
Ultimate load capacity of Pile ∑Qui= n1n2(Qp+Qs) = 2x2x(47.7+138.5) = 744.8 KN ~ 745kN

A. Group Pile Please correct the length to 3.5m

Skin Resistance ∑PgCu = 4 x 2.0 x 75x 3 = 1800 kN

Please correct this as appropriate
Lg = (n1-1)d+2(D/2)
Bg = (n2-1)d+2(D/2)
For square pile Lg, Bg (length, breadth of Group pile) is same.
i.e. Lg =(2-1)x 1.5 + 2(0.3/2) = 1.5+0.3 = 1.8 m
Bg = 1.8 m

 To find Nc* value Nc* =7.5[1+0.3(Bg/ Lg)] = 7.5[1+0.3(1.8/ 1.8)] = 7.5(1.3) = 9.75
Point Bearing Capacity Apqp =ApCu(p) Nc* = (1.80)2 x 75x 9.75 =2369 kN
∑Qgu = ApCu(p) Nc* + ∑Pg Cu = 2369 + 1800 =4169 kN
Efficiency η = Qg(u) / ∑Qui (or) n x Qui = 4169 / (4 x 745 ) = 1.4 x 100 η =140 %
Safe load = ultimate load / factor of safety = 4169 / 2.5 = 1667.6 KN
Hence safe load from the above two criteria is 1667 kN which > 5.5 kN
B. Design of Pile Cap
Consider size of pile cap = 2.0 X 2.0 m
Bending movement at face of column = (2 x 5.5 )/4 + (0.3+1.5)/3 = 3.35 kN-M
Max Mz = 20 kN-M from figure 1.
Factored bending movement = (3.35+20)x 1.5 =35.025 KN-M
1. Required Depth
Please refer Clause 5.4 of IS 2911
Bending movement = 0.138 fck bd2 = 35 x 106 N-mm = 0.138 x 20 x 2000 x d2 (Part 3):1980 for Pile Cap Depth
d = 79.6 mm and correct /validate the given pile
cap depth as appropriate.
we took , Overall depth = 360mm
2. Area of Tension Steel
Bending moment BM = 0.87 fyAst d (1 – fyAst/fckbd)
= 35 x 106 = 0.87x 415 x Ast x 360 (1-415 Ast/20*2000*360)
269= Ast (1- 2.88x10-5 Ast) -> 2.88x10-5 Ast2 – Ast + 269 = 0
Ast= 271 mm2
Taking 0.12% of bd = 0.0012 x 2000 x 360 = 864 mm2
Assuming 12 mm diameter bar, Area of each bar Ast = π/4 d2= 113 mm2
Hence provide 8 nos. of 12mm dia bars for 1.5m length and width of pile cap.
We will take 15 Nos of 12 mm diameter steel bars.
C. Check for Shear
Please correct this value to 0.36
Two-way shear:
Shear force (Vu) = 1.5×5.5 ×103 =8.25 ×103 N
Nominal shear stress (τv) = Vu/bd = 8.250 / 1.5 * 3.6 = 0.118 KN/m2
Please correct this value
Shear strength of M20concrete = Ks x τc Ks= 0.5 +βc =0.5+1= 1.5
τc = 0.25 x sq.rt(fck)xbxd = 948.68 N/mm2
Please correct this value
τv < τc, Hence safe in two way shear.
Countercheck the manual calculation with IS2911-Part 3 for 0.550 T DL it is advisable to construct
piles with single bulb as per dwg attached herewith.

1. Please refer clause 5.4.1 to 5.4.3 of IS: 2911 (Part 3)-1980 for design of Pile Cap.
