5.2 CONCRETE PILE DESIGN

Max Uplift encountered 12.805 kN

Moment accompanying 4.629 kN-m

Max Downward Force 10.062 kN

Moment accompanying 4.072 kN-m

DIA OF PILE 300 mm

ANCHORAGE LENGTH OF COLUMN 1400 mm
DEPTH OF PILE 1500 mm

5.2.1 CHECK FOR ANCHORAGE :

Bond strength with concrete 1.4 N/mm2 (FOR M20)

Area of column embedded in pile 1555088.36 mm2
Anchorage Strength 2177.12 KN

Max uplift in column 12.805 KN

With Load factor. OF 1.5, Uplift force 19.2075 KN < 2177.12 KN

HENCE, ANCHORAGE IS SUFFICIENT IN CONCRETE PILES.

5.2.2 CHEK FOR UPLIFT IN PILES

Uplift Force 12.805 KN

Concrete weight 2.6 KN
