Putra Jaya Bridge No. 2: Option 1. Design of Stone Column

The document discusses two design options for stone columns at a bridge abutment borehole location. Option 1 involves designing stone columns based on soil strength properties and calculations of column capacity. Option 2 calculates a factor of safety against bearing failure for a stone column system, taking into account embankment height, weight, column spacing, and increased soil strength from surcharging. The document provides input parameters and calculations for both options.

Option 1. Design of Stone Column

1.1 Assume initial average Soil strength of layer, c =


1.2 Stone column size, dia. (mm)
1.3 Effective area of stone column ac =
1.4 Ultimate Structural Capacity of Stone Column, 25c = qp =
1.5 Ultimate initial carrying capacity of single Column ac*qp = p =
1.6 Column Spacing, s (In equilateral Triangle) =
1.7 Equivalent fill height where stone column initiate failure,
= p / (0.866s * 0.866s * g ) , where g =

1.8 Height of surcharge, m =


1.9 Remark: Height of surcharge is higher than initial capacity of column
use either permanent casing (option 1) or
allow column to increase capacity by compressing itself under
surcharge load (option 2)
1.10 Apply option 2
1.11 Penetration Length 3.142 * d * l * ca

Option 2 : Factor of safety against Bearing failure


2.1 Height of embankment, h, m
2.2 Weight of embankment,
where ( unit wt. g kN/m3 ) =
2.3 Column Spacing triangular Grid =
area/column =
2.4 Total weight of Embankment per Column =
2.5 Assume increase in shear strength of surcharge 12 % =
dC b (Slow loading condition, approximately 3.0m/month)
2.6 Final Shear Strength immediately at the end of construction ( C ) =
2.7 Ultimate Structural capacity of stone column, 25 * C = Qp =
2.8 Ultimate carrying capacity of single Column ac * Qp = P =
2.9 Safety against Bearing
