STRUCTURAL CAPACITY OF MICRO PILE

Compressive Load on Pile (P) = 150 kN


Tension Load on Pile = 150 kN
Length of Micro Pile(Lb) = 18 m ( Assume)
Micro Pile Diameter = 165 mm
API Pipe Outer Diameter = 114.3 mm
API Pipe Thickness (mm) = 9 mm
Grade of Cement Grout(fcu) = 30 Mpa
Steel yield strength(fy) = 150 Mpa

Material dimensions and Properties

Pipe Outer diameter (OD) = 114.3 mm


Pipe Inner diameter (ID) = 96.3 mm
Area of Steel (Asc) = 2977.2874 mm2

Micro pile Diameter (D) = 165 mm


Area of Concrete (Ac) = 18405.178 mm2

Calculation of Allowable Capacity in Compression

Ultimate Structural Capacity in Compression using BS8110-1:1997

Nult = 0.35 x fcu x Ac + 0.75 x fy x Asc


Nult =0.35 x 30 x 18405.2 + 0.75 x 150 x 2977.3 = 528199.19 N

Nult = 528.2 kN

Factor of Safety for Compression ( Fsc) = 2.0

Allowable Structural Working load 1 in compression using BS8110-1:1997

Nall-str1 = Nult /Fsc


Nall-str1 = 264.1 kN > 150 kN

Allowable Structural Working load 2 in compression using BS8004

Nall-str2 = 0.3 x fcu x Ac + 0.5 x fy x Asc


Nall-str2 = 0.3 x 30 x 18405.2 + 0.5 x 150 x 2977.3
Nall-str2 = 388.94 kN > 150 kN
Calculation of Allowable Capacity in Tension

Ultimate Structural Capacity in Tension using BS8110-1:1997

Tult = 0.87 x fy x Asc


Tult = 0.87 x 150 x 2977.3 = 621657.6 N

Tult = 621.7 kN

Factor of Safety for Tension (Fst) = 2.0

Allowable Structural Working load 1 in tension using BS8110-1:1997

Tall-str1 = Tult /Fst


Tall-str1 = 310.85 kN > 150 kN

Allowable Structural Working load 2 in tension using BS8004

Tall-str2 = 0.5 x fy x As
Tall-str2 = 357.3 kN > 150 kN

Reinforcement and Grout Bond Stress

Ultimate anchorage force in API Pipe (Fult)

Fult = fbu x p x OD x Lb

Where fbu = Ultimate Bond stress between grout and reinforcement ( BS8081)

Fult = 1000 x 3.14 x 0.1143 x 18 = 6460.2 kN

Factor of Safety for bond stress (Fbs) = 2.0

Allowable anchorage force in API Pipe

Fall = Fult / Fbs


Fall = 6460.2 kN > 150 kN

Elastic Shortening of Pile

D elastic = PLb / AE

AE = Axial Stiffness = (Ac x Ec) + (As x Es)

Ec = Elastic Modulus of Concrete = 26kN/mm2 (BS8110: Part 2: 1985, Table 7.2)


Es = Elastic Modulus of Steel = 200kN/mm2 (BS8110: Part 2: 1985, Clause 3.6)

AE = ( 18405.2 x 26 ) + ( 2977.3 x 200 )

AE = 1.07E+06 kN

D elastic = PLb / AE 2.51 mm
