    Pile Foundation-Thumb Rules

    Uploaded by

    Atul Joshi
    The document provides thumb rules for pile foundation design including: - Pile diameter, under reamed diameter, depth below ground level, minimum vertical steel diameter and number of bars based on pile diameter and soil bearing capacity. - Number of bulbs required based on pile depth. - Stirrup diameter as 1/3 of vertical bar diameter with maximum spacing of 225mm. - Pile cap width, length, depth based on pile/column dimensions. Minimum dowel bars each side equal to total bars from piles/2. - Pile cap reinforcement diameter as 0.66 times vertical bar diameter with spacing of reinforcement diameter - 3 inches or based on cap dimensions. -

    PILE FOUNDATION
    (THUMB RULES)
    Friction Piles:
    *Pile Diameter=Circular Column Diameter(acting as a column)

    *Under Reamed or Bulb Diameter= 2.5 x Pile Diameter.

    *Depth of Pile below G.L.= (1.25x100xPile Dia.in inch)/( S.B.C.of Soil in KN/sq.m)=……….in ft.

    Eg.Depth of 18”dia.pile below G.L.=(1.25x100x18inch pile dia.)/150 =15 ft.

    (Here S.B.C.of Soil in KN/sq.m=100 kn/sq.m)

    *Min.Vertical/Longitudinal Steel Diameter=(10 xPile Diam.in inch xPile Depth in feet)

    ( S.B.C.of Soil in KN/sq.m)

    =------------------ in mm.

    Eg.Diam.of ver.steel=(10x 18 inchx14 ft)/(100)=25.2 mm

    *Min.No.of Vertical /Longitudinal steel bars=Diam.of Piles in inch/1.5 =…………. Nos.

    Eg. No.of ver.steel bars required= 18inch/1.5= 12 nos.

    OR Min.No.of Vertical /Longitudinal steel bars=(Diam.of Piles in inch x 8)/(Diam.of Ver.Steel)

    =…………….nos.

    Eg. No.of ver.steel bars required= (18 inch x 8(constant))/(12 mm dia.)=12 nos.

    *No.of Bulbs required=Pile Depth in ft./8=……………..Nos.

    Eg .No.of Bulbs =14ft./8=1.75 nos. say 2nos.

    (Note:Min.Depth of Pile should be 10 ft. & Min.steel percentage in piles should be 1%)

    *Stirrups: Diam.of stirrups=Ver.steel dia./3=…………..in mm.(Min.Diam.≥6mm)

    CONTACT:0217-2310508,9823110936
    *Spacing of Stirrups: Stirrups spacing=(Vertical steel Dia.in mm -4)/2=…………….inch c/c

    (Note:Max.spacing of stirrups/rings/links should not be more than 9 inch or 225mm)

    PILE CAP:

    *Pile Cap Width=1.5 x Pile Diameter or 1.5 x Column Width ,which is max.

    *Pile Cap Length=2 x Pile Diameter or 2 x Column Depth ,which is max.

    *Pile Cap Depth/Thk.= Pile Diameter in inch +3 inch =……………..inch.

    *Min.Dowel Bars to each side for Column= Total no.of Bars from piles/2=………….nos.

    *Pile Cap Reinforcement: Cap Rein.Diam.=0.66 xDiam.of vertical steel of pile in mm=………mm

    Spacing of Cap Reinforcement= Cap Rein.Dia.in mm-3=…………….in inch

    OR Spacing of Cap Reinforce.=( Cap Depth in inch+ Cap Width in inch +Cap Length in inch)/10

    =………………….in inch

    (Note: Generally same diameter & spacing is provided for top & bottom mesh reinforcement of
    pile cap)

    Note: Diameter & Spacing for M20 grade Concrete. It may vary with the grade of concrete &
    steel also.

    Notes:

    *All Thumb Rules are created on the basis of Experience ,Calculations ,Data available from
    various books and guidance given by Senior Engineers/Technocrats.

    *Thumb Rules are practicable and easy to work out basic/ initial sizes of structural members for
    Quantity calibration, estimation and to cross check the safety of structural designs.

    *For Big & Complicated structures, actual calculations should be done along with use of these
    Thumb Rules.

    *Thumb Rules are invented by considering Factored Load,Wind Pressure,Seismic Forces,
    Corrosion of material, Worksmanship &Practical Convenience.

    *More suggestions and invention on these Thumb Rules are always welcome.

    *Thumb Rules are created by help of SI,MKS,FPS,CGS unit systems therefore sufficient
    knowledge of all unit systems are must.

    *Adopt sizes & steel for the higher/safer side with thoroughly judgment.
