Short/Skirt Pile for Lateral Loads
摘要
Warehouse Project at Kakinada Project Office: Area = 14,100 m2, G + 5 building)—Block-1 to Block-5, Introduction of Skirt/Short Piles for Lateral Loads had saved the overall cost of piles. Inadequate Lateral Capacity of Pile due to localized soil condition is envisaged in project office location during detailed investigation of soil. Hence there was an additional number of piles required for Vertical and Lateral load. Since the number of piles required (750 dia, 30 m deep) due to lateral had increased the pile numbers in a pile group, introduction of Skirt/Short under reamed Pile of lesser depth (400 dia, 4.5 m deep) found out a best solution to resist lateral forces and saved the quantities of piles. Warehouse sheds (10 nos.); following thorough soil study, the overall length of the piles is optimized during the operational phase from 20 to 11 m considering the depth of hard strata results in a pile group of not more than two or three nos. per column/pedestal; the pilecap is then efficiently designed.
