RELEVENT STANDARDS
Concrete Bridge code- For structural design IRC- 78- For Road bridge foundations, can be referred for guidance
END BEARING PILE
FRICTION PILES
DRIVEN PILES
BORED PILING
STEPS OF DESIGN
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. From soil data, depth of scour fix length of pile Base on thumb rules, fix dia of pile Calculate load carrying capacity of single pile using static formulae Do rough design for selected group of piles. Spacing to be based on thumb rules Check design for load carrying capacity, settlement, depth etc. Revise design if required Conduct load test to confirm capacity of pile Do structural design
BORED CAST IN SITU PILES ARE MOST COMMON FOR RAILWAY BRIDGES, SO FURTER DISCUSSION IS FOR BORED CAST IN SITU PILES ONLY
IMP. CODAL PROVISIONS

DIA. OF PILE
Bridge Manual- > normally 1 m IRC-78
Bored piles on land- min. 1 m Bored pile in river bridge- min. 1.2 m Provisions are for max. dia of 2.5 m
IS 2911- Part I, Section 2
For Railway bridges dia. Of 1 m to 1.5 m be normally adopted
SPACING OF PILE
IRC-78
Friction- min. 3 D End bearing- Can be reduced to clear distance= D that is c/c 2D End bearing- hard soil- Min. 2.5 D End bearing- hard rock- Min. 2.0 D Friction- Min 3.0 D Friction min. 3 D End bearing- Min. 2.5 D Max. 4 D
RDSO Manual

For Railway bridges spacing of 2.5 D to 3.5D be normally adopted

GROUP BEHAVIOR
IRC-78
End bearing- If spacing > 2.5 D, no reduction Friction- If spacing > 3 D, no reduction Check for block failure Settlement of group/single pile given for different width of group/pile dia Bored piles- end bearing- No reduction Other cases descriptive guidelines given Dense sand not underlying by weak soil driven pile No reduction Loose sand soil 50% reduction Sand not underlying by weak soil boredreduction 33%

IRC-78

PILE CAP
Min. thickness 0.6 m or 1.5 m whichever is less Minimum offset of 150 mm beyond outer face Pile to project 50 mm into pile cap Offset of 100-150 mm beyond outer face Pile to project 50 mm into pile cap Should be rigid enough Can be designed by taking dispersion at 45 degrees both from substructure and pile upto centre line NIL

CONCRETE AND STEEL

IRC-78
M 35, Min. cement 400 kg/m3, Max. W/C ratio 0.4, slump 50mm (150-200 for tremie) Min. long reinforcement 0.4%, links min. 8 mm @ 150 mm c/c. Min cover 75 mm. M 20, Min. cement 400 kg/m3, 10% extra cement when under water, slump 100- 180 mm (150-180 for tremie) Min. long reinforcement 0.4%, Min. spacing 100mm, links min 6 mm @ 150 mm c/c. Min cover 40 mm. NIL CBC to be followed based on enviornmental condition

FOS
IRC-78
2.5 if derived from static formulae for soil. 5 for end bearing on rock and 10 for socket resistance.

Appendix given for calculating strength with static formulae

3 if derived from static formulae. 2 if derived from load test
Factor of safety
DEPENDS UPON
Reliability of the soil parameters

Soil Type Spatial variability of the Soil Uniform or Erratic The soil exploration programme Average or Extensive
Method of construction, inspection and quality control
The factor of safety based on load Test shall be increased in following unfavorable conditions:a) Settlement is to be limited or unequal settlement avoided b) Large impact or vibrating loads are expected c) The properties of the soil are expected to deteriorate with time The maximum permissible increase over the safe load of a pile on account of wind load is 25%
BORED CAST IN SITU PILES

ALIGNMENT CONTROL For pile group_ FOR VERTICAL PILES A DEVIATION OF NOT MORE THAN 1.5 % FOR RAKER PILES A DEVIATION OF NOT MORE THAN 4 % PILE SHOULD NOT SHIFT MORE THAN 75 MM OR D/4 WHICHEVER IS LESS ( FOR PILES LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 600 MM DIA. ) 75 MM OR D/10 WHICHEVER IS MORE FOR PILES MORE THAN 600 MM. DIA. PILE

DEPTH OF FIXITY
Amendment 3 of IS code, Appendix C Determine T K1 given in table1, use submerged value varying from 0.146 for loose sand to 1.245 for dense sand
