PROVISION OF PILES UNDER RETAINING BASE
Site Condition at the Location of Boundary Wall is such that the Adjoining Land is lowlying and Regular
Erosion of Soil Takes place specifically during rains. In an earlier event the same retaining wall had fallen
as the soil below the retaining foundation had eroded thereby leading to overturning of the wall.
So it is proposed to provided piles under the base so that in an event of erosion of soil under the footing
shall not render the retaining unsafe and leading to failure
Pile Arrangement suggested is Alternate Pile Under Stem and Heel so as to achieve minimum
pile distance of 3 times the dia for fully effective pile capacity in group within given footing width
Since Settlement under Stem Side can lead to Uplifting on Heel Side, Average Pile Value
of Compession and Uplift has been used for Design to be on Conservative Side
