Topic:
• Bearing Capacity of Group Piles
• Group Efficiency
• Piles in Rock
• Consolidation settlement of Group Piles
GROUP PILES

Lg = (n1 – 1)d + 2(D/2)


Bg = (n2 – 1)d + 2(D/2)

Where:
D = pile diameter
d = spacing of pile (center to center)

Where:
 = group efficiency
Qg(u) = ultimate load bearing capacity of the group pile

Summary:

1. For driven group piles in sand with d  3D, Qu(g) may


be taken to be Qu, which includes the frictional and
the point bearing capacities of individual piles.
2. For bored group piles in sand at conventional
spacings (d  3D), Qg(u) may be taken to be 2/3 to ¾
times Qu (frictional and point bearing capacities of
individual piles)

GROUP PILES IN SATURATED CLAY

Calculation steps:
1. Determine Qu = n1.n2 (Qp + Qs)
where:
QP = 9 . cu . Ap (ultimate end bearing capacity of single pile)

QS = (.p.cu.L) (skin resistance of single pile)

2. Determine the ultimate capacity by assuming that the piles in the


group act as a block with dimensional Lg x Bg x L as follow :
- end bearing capacity of the block
QP’ = Ap . qp = Ap . cu . Nc* with Ap = Lg . Bg
- Skin resistance of the block
QS’= (pg.cu.L) = 2.(Lg+Bg).cu.L
- Daya dukung batas tiang grup
Qu = QP’ + QS’
Qu = (Lg . Bg) . cu . Nc* + 2.(Lg+Bg).cu.L

3. Compare the values obtained in step 1 and 2  the lower of the two
values is Qg(u)

Problem:
The section of a 3 x 4 group pile layered saturated clay. The
piles are square in cross section (14 in. x 14 in.). The center
to center spacing, d, of the piles is 35 in. Determine the
allowable load bearing capacity of the pile group. USE FS = 4

CONSOLIDATION SETTLEMENT OF GROUP PILES

The Terzaghi formula is valid


with some rules:
1.The consolidation settlement
is occurred from the depth of
2/3 of pile length.
2.The stress increase caused
at the middle of each soil layer
by using 2:1 method

CONSOLIDATION SETTLEMENT OF GROUP PILES

Problem:
A group pile with Lg
sat = 18 kN/m3 = 3.3 m and Bg = 2.2
Cc = 0,3 m as shown in the
eo = 0,82
figure. Determine the
consolidation
settlement of the pile
groups. All clays are
normally
sat = 18,9 kN/m3 consolidated.
Cc = 0,2
eo = 0,7
sat = 19 kN/m3
Cc = 0,25
eo = 0,75
