Unit-4-Deep Foundations
1) List and explain the classification of pile foundation based on function
2) Explain with neat sketch “Under”-reamed Piles” and Negative Skin Friction
3) Calculate the efficiency of piles group by Feld’s rule for the diagram shown below: (Refer Book G.
Venkatramaiah)
7) A 16-pile group has to be arranged in the form of a square in soft clay with uniform
spacing. Neglecting end-bearing, determine the optimum value of the spacing of the piles in
terms of the pile diameter, assuming a shear mobilisation factor of 0.6. (Refer Book G.
Venkatramaiah)
8) A square pile group of 9 piles passes through a recently filled up material of 4.5m depth.
The diameter of the pile is 30 cm and pile spacing is 90 cm centre to centre. If the unconfined
compression strength of the cohesive material is 60 kN/m2 and unit weight is 15 kN/m3,
compute the negative skin friction of the pile group. (Refer Book G. Venkatramaiah)
1) A cut has been made at an angle of 300 to the horizontal radius is 10m
passing through the toe of the cut slope and through a point 4m away on the top
ground from the edge of the cut C=Kn/m2, O=30ogamma=18kn/m3, depth of
the cut=5m. Find Factor of safety by Swedish Circle method

2) Determine the factor of safety against sliding for the slip surface shown in
fig-1 below. Use Swedish Circle method. Soil properties are C=15kN/m2, ø
=300, Ƴ =18KN/m3, Slope of embankment is 1:1.5
