DESIGN & ANALYSIS OF PRECAST DRIVEN PILE

(350mm X 350mm)

CHECK FOR DRIVING STRESS:

Formula for use with Diesel Hammer:

Ru= [12efEn/ (s+0.5(C1+C2+C3)] x [(Wr+e Wp) / (Wr+Wp)] ---------(I)*

Where,
Ru = ultimate carrying capacity of pile (considered as ultimate resistance to driving)
Wr= weight of falling mass, lb = 3.5 x 2240=7714 lb
En=Rated energy per blow, ft-lb=10.5 Ton-m=75768 lb-ft
ef= hammer efficiency =100 percent for diesel hammer.
Wp= weight of pile=[0.35x0.35x25x25] kN= 76.56 kN. = 17187.5 lb
L = length of pile = 25m=984.25 inch.
e = coefficient of restitution = 0.4
s = set value =0.25 inch
C1= temporary compression allowance for pile head and cap. = 0.1
C2= temporary compression of pile, in= Ru L/ AE= 1.1910-6 Ru
C3= temporary compression allowance for quake of ground, =0.1
A= average cross section of pile =13.78x13.78=189.89 sq. inch
E= modulus of elasticity for pile material=4.34x106psi
[*REF: FOUNDATION ENGINEERING-G.A. LEONARDS-PAGE (655-657)]
From equation no (I)
5.95x 10-7 Ru2 + 0.35 Ru 536437.44=0

Solving the above equation, Ru = 699904.85 lb =3117757.99 N

So, Stress on concrete = 3117757.99/ (350x350) = 25.45 Mpa < 40 MPa

HENCE SAFE FOR CONCRETE COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH AT DRIVING.

CHECK FOR LIFTING & PITCHING STRESS:

Total dead weight of pile, W =[0.35x0.35x25x25] kN=76.56 kN

Factored Dead Weight of Pile, W =1.4x76.56= 107.184 [ACI-318-14-TABLE 5.3.1]
For one point pitching at L/5, maximum developed moment = WL/14 (II)*
=76.5625/14 = 136.71 kN-m
[REF.: PILE DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION PRACTICES BY M.J. TOMLINSON]
Maximum Developed Moment, Mu=136.71 kN-m
According to ACI-318-14,
Moment Capacity of the section, Mc = As fy (d-a/2)
 DESIGN & ANALYSIS OF PRECAST DRIVEN PILE
(350mm X 350mm)
Where, a= As fy / (0.85 fc b)
Here, = 0.9 [According to ACI-318- 14-21.2]
Using 8 Nos d-25mm bar
As = 1963.5 mm2 [Considering the reinforcement of the tension zone only.]
d = 287.5mm, b = 350 mm,
So Moment Capacity of the section, Mc = 217.58> 136.71 kN-m.

HENCE SAFE FOR ONE POINT PITCHING (AT 0.2 L).

For two point lifting at L/5, maximum developed moment = WL/40 [<WL/14]
HENCE SAFE FOR TWO-POINT LIFTING (AT 0.2 L).

CHECK FOR AXIAL STRESS:

According to ACI-318-14-10.3.6 & ACI-318-14-22.4.2,

Axial Capacity of Pile with lateral ties,
Pn = 0.80 [0.85fC(Ag-Ast) + fyAst]

So, Pn = 0.80 X 0.65 X [0.85 X40 X (122500-3927) +500 X 3927)]

= 3121 kN =312.1 Ton.

CHECK FOR UPLIFT CAPACITY:

According to ACI 543-R-4.3.3.1, the uplift capacity of the section can be determined from the
following equation,
Pup =0.5 x fy x Ast =0.5x500x3927 =981750 N =981.75 kN.

CHECK FOR LATERAL CAPACITY:

Here Vu=27 kN 6.5 Kip (Design Maximum Lateral Load)

fc=40 MPa=5800 psi
fy=500 MPa=72000 psi
According to ACI-318-14, lateral capacity of the section,
Vc= 2 fcbw d
=(.752580013.7811.18)/1000 [ = 0.75 {ACI-318-14-21.2.1}]
=17.60 Kips>Vu
Smax =6 inches (ACI 318-02, Section 7.10.4.3)
Smin =1 inches (ACI 318-02, Section 7.10.4.3)

Hence, provide 10 mm dia bar @ 75 mm C/C.
