Design of Pile Cap

The document provides design inputs and calculations for a pile cap to support a column/wall with an axial load of 2000 kN. It determines the pile cap dimensions to be 2350x2350x675 mm to support 9 friction piles in a 3x3 configuration. The depth is based on moment and shear criteria. It also calculates the maximum moments and shears and designs the pile cap accordingly with steel reinforcement.

Design Of Pile Cap

Inputs
Column/wall Length(X dim.) = 500 mm
Column/Wall Width(Y dim.) = 500 mm
Axial Load = 2000 KN
Mx = 300 KNm
No. of piles = 9 (Friction piles)
Dia. Of each pile = 250 mm
Concrete grade = M20
Steel grade = Fe415
No. of rows in x direction(m) = 3
No. of rows in y direction(n) = 3
Assumed overhange = 150 mm

Analysis and Design

1) Pile Cap dimensions


L = B = 2S + D + 2 x Assumed overhang of150mm

S is the spacing of piles. Which can be fixed such that the group efficiency is 100%

100 = (2(m + n - 2)S + 4D)*100/(pi() * D * mn)

S = (pi() D mn - 4D)/(2(m + n -2)) > Smin

Smin = 3d or 900 which ever is mpre


= 900 mm

S = 758.5729 mm should be > smin

Therefore, S = 900 mm

L=B = 2350 mm

2) Depth of pile cap


a) Depth of pile cap based on moment criteria

BD2 = Muy,max/(0.36fck(xu/d)(1-0.416xu/d))

Where, Muy = Maximum ultimate moment at the face bc about y axis

= (Puc1 + Puc2 + Puc3)(S - L)/2

Where, Puc1, Puc2 and Puc3 are the ultimate reaction from Piles Pc1, Pc2 and Pc3
= Load factor x ((column/wall load P + assumed self weight of 0.1P of pile cap)/ number of piles) + MuyYc/ Σyc2)

Load factor = 1.5

Therefore Puc1, Puc2 and Puc3


= 450 KN

Therefore, Muy, max = 877.5 KNm

Xu/d = 0.479 for steel grade of Fe415

Therefore, for calculating D


BD2 = 3.18E+08
D 2
= 135214.1
and D = 367.7147 mm

b) Depth of pile cap based on shear criteria

From, Vu,max = τuc bd

d = Vumax/τuc b

Vumax = Puc1 + Puc2 + Puc3


1350 KN

τuc = 0.36 N/mm2 (Min. value for considered grade of concrete)


d = 1595.745 mm

Consider D = 675 mm
d = 625 mm

3) Design for moment


Area of steel for max. ultimate moment at the face of column/wall about x and y axis
Mux,max = (Pua1 + Pub1 + Puc1)*(S-b)/2

Where, Pua1 = 1.5 x ((Column/wall load P + assumed selfweight of 0.1P of pile cap) number of piles) + Muy X /Σx2

Pua1 = 283.3333 KN
Similarly,
Pub1 = 366.6667 KN
Puc1 = 450 KN
Mux,max = 715 KNm

4) Design for shear
