)uestions
.

Determine the pile spacing in radial direction (assume that spacing in radial and circumferential
direction is the same),

Determine the distnbution of forces in the wall under a load-balancing prestress, (moments,
shear forces, hoop forces). Note: First, estimate prestress losses; later check the actual prestress
losses caused by shrinkage, creep and relaxation.

Check the bending moment and shear force in the wall at the wall-to-base connection.
Determine the vertical reinforcement required to resist the fixed-end moment.

Which measures can be taken to increase the load bearing capacity of the wall-to-base
connection (suppose that the wall thickness of 400 mm is not sufficient to resist the shear force
and/or the bending moment)?
Make drawings of the reinforcement and prestressing in the wall and in the wall-to-base
connection (vertical and horizontal sections).
