1.0 GENERAL
1.1 General
For the Olkaria Ⅳ Geothermal Power Plant Project, pile foundation will be needed to support the
buildings and concrete structures depending on sub-soil condition.
The allowable pile capacity was calculated base on soil investigation results which will be submitted
as separate report(Doc No. ZP00700-B2CE-ECG-RPT-0001).
In consideration of sub-soil condition, the various bored pile will be adopted.
1) Pile
2) Concrete

Note: 1) "Cohesive" = clay or plastic sily, "Cohesionless" = sand, gravel or non-plastic silt
2) For cohesionless soil, we couldn't carry out unit weight tests because sampling of
cohesionless soil is very difficult. Therefore, we use typical soil properties in a natural
state and conservartively select soil type.

Reinforcement bars in pile are designed to be followed as the basic requriement in BS 8110,
and to resist axial force, bending moment and tension stress.
Alowing for eccentricity of loading due to deviations during construction, BS 8110, Part 1
the untimate axial load should not exceed the value of N given by: Clause 3.8.3
N = 0.45 x fcu x Ac + 0.95 x As x fy
fcu = 25 N/mm2
fy = 460 N/mm2
Ac = 282,743 mm2
As = 2,827 mm2
The rebar shall be designed for this Article requirement plus seismic action
Assume H-force on the Pile : 150.0 kN
Horizontal load on pile : 160.7 kN
(due to construction allowances)
B.M produced by eccentricity : 60.0 kN-M

if 5 m long steel is used. However we are providing for full length steel.

We propose 640 mm into the pile cap

As previously shown lateral reinforcement is not required for shear considerations,
however buckling should be investigated. Euler’s theory gives the minimum force
