TYPES OF DRILLED SHAFT

DESIGN METHOD OF DRILLED SHAFT ESTIMATION OF LOAD BEARING CAPACITY - GENERAL Where: Qu = ultimate load Qp = ultimate load-carrying capacity at the base Qs = frictional (skin) resistance

DESIGN METHOD OF DRILLED SHAFT Ultimate Base Load (In most cases, the third term is neglected) Net load-carrying capacity at the base Where: Nc*, Nq*, N* = the bearing capacity factor q’ = vertical effective stress at the level of the bottom of pier Db = diameter of the base Ap = area of the base = /4 . Db2

DESIGN METHOD OF DRILLED SHAFT Friction or Skin resistance, Qs Where: p = shaft perimeter = .Ds f = unit frictional (skin) resistance

DESIGN METHOD OF DRILLED SHAFT - SAND Net load-carrying capacity at the base Friction or Skin resistance Where: p = shaft perimeter = .Ds f = unit frictional (skin) resistance = K.v’.tan K = earth pressure coefficient  Ko = 1 - sin v’ = effective vertical stress at any depth z Net allowable load

DESIGN METHOD OF DRILLED SHAFT - CLAY Net load-carrying capacity at the base Friction or Skin resistance Where: cu = undrained cohesion Nc* = bearing capacity factor = 9 p = perimeter of the shaft cross section * = varies between 0.3 to 1.0 or

SETTLEMENT OF DRILLED SHAFT AT WORKING LOAD S = S1 + S2 + S3 Where: S = total pile settlement S1 = elastic settlement of pile S2 = settlement of pile caused by the load at the pile tip S3 = settlement of pile caused by the load transmitted along the pile shaft

SETTLEMENT OF DRILLED SHAFT AT WORKING LOAD Where: Qwp = load carried at the pile point under working load condition Qws = load carried by frictional (skin) resistance under working load condition Ap = area of pile cross section Ep = modulus of elasticity of the pile material L = length of pile  = the magnitude which depend on the nature of unit friction (skin) resistance distribution along the pile shaft.

SETTLEMENT OF DRILLED SHAFT AT WORKING LOAD Where: qwp = point load per unit area at the pile point = Qwp/Ap D = width or diameter of pile Es = modulus of elasticity of soil at or below the pile point s = poisson’s ratio of soil Iwp = influence factor = r

SETTLEMENT OF DRILLED SHAFT AT WORKING LOAD Where: Qws = friction resistance of pile L = embedment length of pile p = perimeter of the pile Iws = influence factor

TYPES OF CAISSONS

TYPES OF CAISSONS

DESIGN METHOD OF CAISSONS FOUNDATION THICKNESS OF CONCRETE SEAL IN OPEN CAISSONS (b). Rectangular Caisson Lo Bo Bi Li

DESIGN METHOD OF CAISSONS FOUNDATION TWO OTHER CONDITIONS SHOULD BE CHECKED FOR SAFETY: 1. Check for Perimeter Shear at Contact Face of Seal and Shaft The Perimeter shear, , should be less than the permissible shear stress, u

DESIGN METHOD OF CAISSONS FOUNDATION TWO OTHER CONDITIONS SHOULD BE CHECKED FOR SAFETY: 2. Check for Buoyancy If the shaft is completely dewatered, the bouyant upward, Fu is The downward force, Fd, is caused by the weight of the caisson and the seal and by the skin friction at the caisson-soil interface If Fd > Fu  the caisson is safe from bouyancy If Fd < Fu  dewatering the shaft completely will be unsafe and the thickness of the seal should be increased by t, or
