– Reinforcement Steel
• Where significant Bending and Lateral loads encountered
• Longitudinal and helical (shear) type
• Grades 40 to 60 – design to specify both AREA of steel
required, the sizes, the arrangement
• Tensile tests performed to verify – strength parameters
Structural components of Piles –
(cont…)
• Bored cast-in-situ piles (cont…)
– Concrete
• Primary compression element
• Class of concrete specified in design – fc’
• Type of cement may be specified depending on
ground conditions
• Usually OPC cement used (for workability and strength
requirements)
• Trial Mix design followed by Trial batch with sampling
for Compressive strength tests.
Structural components of Piles –
(cont…) – Typical Pile Design Drawing
2.2 Retaining Systems with Anchors
• support of an excavation pit
• anchored pile wall is the most common in
the local market
• If ground water present secant pile wall
systems are the preferred choice
• grouted anchor is identified as one of the
key components providing lateral support
2.2.1 Mechanics of Wall with
Anchors-
• anchored pile wall system acts as a supported
beam in the vertical direction
• pile is the beam anchors the supports
• actions on the wall are active soil pressure
• ground water pressure
• surcharge pressure due to surface loads
