Session 21 - 22 Group Piles: Course: MKB 41645/foundation Engineering Year: 2015

The document discusses different topics related to group piles, including bearing capacity of group piles, group efficiency, piles in rock, and consolidation settlement of group piles. It provides formulas to calculate the ultimate load capacity of group piles based on factors like pile diameter, spacing, and individual pile capacity. Worked examples are included to demonstrate how to determine the allowable load capacity and consolidation settlement of a group pile foundation.

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

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
