    The document calculates the pile capacity of a foundation with the following properties: - The pile has a 1m diameter shaft with a 5m long socket into rock. - The rock has a core recovery of 92%, RQD of 31%, and crushing strength of 21MPa. - Using empirical relationships, the ultimate end bearing capacity is calculated to be 1395 tonnes. - The ultimate side socket shear is calculated to be 1620 tonnes. - The allowable capacities are 465 tonnes for end bearing and 539 tonnes for side shear.

    1 Calculation of pile capacity

    1.1 Properties of foundation rock (As per IRC:78-2014.cl.9)


    Core Recovery in percent CR = 92.00 %
    Rock quality designation RQD = 31.00 %
    Crushing strength of the rock = 21.00 Mpa

    Characterstic strength of the concrete fck = 35.00 Mpa

    Diameter of the pile shaft = 1.00 m


    Socketing length of the pile shaft into the rock = 5.00 m

    1.2 Ultimate end bearing (Re) (CR+RQD)/2


    Ksp
    CR = 92.00 % 30 0.3
    RQD = 31.00 % 100 1.2
    (CR+RQD)/2 = 61.5
    Emperical co-efficient Ksp = 0.705
    Avg.unconfined compressive stength
    qc = 21.00 Mpa

    Socketing length of the pile into the rock = 5000 mm


    Diameter of the socket = 1000 mm
    Depth factor df = 1.2
    2
    Cross sectional area of the bease of pile Ab = 785398 mm
    Ultimate end bearing Re = 1.4E+07 N
    = 1395.34 t
    1.3 Ultimate side socket shear(Raf)
    2
    Surface area of socket As = 1.6E+07 mm
    Ultimate shear strength of the rock along socket length
    Cus = 1.03 Mpa
    Ultimate side socket shear(Raf) Raf = 1.6E+07 N
    = 1619.62 t
    1.4 Allowable capacity of the pile
    Ultimate end bearing Re = 1395.34 t
    FOS = 3
    Allowable capacity in end bearing Re/3 = 465.113 t

    Ultimate side socket shear(Raf) Raf = 1620 t


    = 3
    Raf/6 = 539.872 t

    Allowable shaft resistance in compression = 1004.98 t


    Allowable shaft resistance in uplift = 539.872 t

    2 Method-2
    End bearing component(Re)
    Type of rock considered = VERY WEEK
    Avg shear strength IN bearing Cu,b = 1 Mpa
    Nc = 9
    2
    Ab = 785398 mm
    Re = 4948008 N
    Qallowable=Re/3 = 164.934 t
    Friction component(Raf)
    Avg shear strength along the socket as per N-value
    = 1.0 Mpa
    Cu,s = 1.0 Mpa
    2
    As = 1.6E+07 mm
    Rf = 15708 kN
    Qallowable=Raf/3 = 2617.99 kN

    Allowable shaft resistance in compression


    Qu=Re+Raf = 2782.93 kN
    Allowable shaft resistance in uplift Raf = 2617.99 kN
