Pile Design

The document summarizes key aspects of IS 2911-2010, the Indian code for pile foundation design. It outlines the four parts of the code covering different pile types. Part 1 includes sections on driven cast in situ concrete piles, bored cast in situ concrete piles, and driven precast concrete piles. The code has been revised to update definitions, require a minimum concrete grade of M25, and modify design parameters to reflect modern research. Minimum bored pile diameters were changed to 450mm based on reinforcement and operational requirements. Provisions have been added for large diameter bored piles in marine structures. Calculation methods for capacity, safety factors, and lateral loads have also been updated.

PILE FOUNDATION DESIGN AS PER IS 2911--2010

The pile code consists of four parts. They are Part 1:Concrete piles Part 2: Timber
Piles Part 3: Under reamed Piles Part 4: Load test on Piles. Out of these Part 1
consists of four section. Among these, Section 1: Driven cast in situ concrete piles.
Section 2: Bored cast in situ concrete Piles and Section 3: Driven precast concrete
Piles are revised in 2010. Some of the important changes in the code are highlighted
as follows:
1. Definitions of various terms have been modified as per the prevailing engineering
practice.
2. Minimum grade of concrete to be used in pile foundations has been revised to
M 25.
3. Design parameters with respect to adhesion factor, earth pressure coefficient,
modulus of subgrade reaction, etc, have been revised to make them consistence
with the outcome of modern research and construction practices.
4. Minimum dia of bored cat in situ pile have been changed as 450mm based on
following parameters:
Clear cover over reinforcement Cl.6.11.4 50 x2 = 100mm
Dia of vertical bar minimum Cl. 6.11.4 12 x 2 = 24 mm
Helical reinforcement minimum dia cl. 6.11.4 8 x2 = 16 mm
Clearance for operation of Tremie Cl.6.11.4 4 x20 = 80 mm
Dia of Tremie pipe minimum Cl.8.4 (c) = 200 mm
Total dia of pile required = 420 mm say
450mm
5. Provisions for special use of large diameter bored cast in-situ reinforced cement
concrete piles in marine structures have been added.
6. Procedures for calculation of bearing capacity, structural capacity, factor of
safety, lateral load capacity, overloading, etc, have also been modified to bring
them at par with the present practices.
7. Minimum time of curing before handling of precast piles has been modified.
8. Provision has been made for use of any established dynamic pile driving
formulae, instead of recommending any specific formula, to control the pile
driving at site, giving due consideration to limitations of various formulae.

Selection of pile foundation:


1. For Poor bearing soils such as Soft clay, Medium Clay or any clay etc. under

reamed pile foundation with pile cap and grade beam or Bored cast insitu

Pile foundation with pile cap may be adopted.

2. For clay soil with G+2F, G+3F, silt+3floors loads, under reamed piles with

pile caps connected with grade beams is best suited.


NOTES TO TABLE 1 OF I.S.2911 (Part III) - 1980 :-

1. This Table apply to both medium compact sandy soils (10 < N <30) and clayey
soils of medium (4 < N < 8) consistency including expansive soils.

2. For dense sandy soil (N ≥ 30) and stiff clayey soils (N ≥ 8) , safe loads in
compression and uplift may be increased by 25%.

3. For loose sandy (4 < N < 10) and soft clayey soils (2 < N 4) safe loads should
be taken 0.75 times Table value.

4. For very loose sandy soil (N ≤ 4) and very soft clayey soils (N ≤ 2 ) the Table
value should be reduced by 50%.

5. For piles with bulb of twice stem dia, the table value should be reduced by 15%.

6. If the pile is full of sub soil water, safe load shall be reduced by 25% as per
clause B 1.6 given in Appendix B.

7. If the spacing between piles is reduced by 1.5 times instead 2 times the under
seamed bulb dia. as per normal requirements safe load shall be reduced by 10%

8. If the under reamed bulb is 2 times pile dia. instead 2.5 times pile dia, safe load
shall be reduced by 10% as per clause 5.2.3.3.
