4.0 Fixity Depth Calculation
Pile fixity condition at top = fixed
Type of Soil in fixity zone = Sand
Modulus of subgrade reaction at fixity zone, K = 4000 kN/m3
Elastic modulus of concrete, Ec = 5000 * SQRT(fck)
Where, fck = Characteristic strength of concrete = 25 N/mm
2
Elastic modulus of concrete, Ec = 5000 * SQRT(fck) = 25000 N/mm
2
= 25000000 kN/m
2
Moment of inertia of Pile, I = 3.14 /64 *D^4
where, D = Diameter of the pile = 0.4 m
Moment of inertia of Pile, I = 3.14 /64 *D^4 = 0.001 m
4
Relative Stiffness factor, T = (EI/K)^(1/5) = 1.510 m
Unsupported length of pile, L1 = 0.0 m
Ratio of L1/T or L1/R = 0
Lf/T or Lf /R = = 2.18
Therefore, Fixity Depth , Lf = = 3.3 m
Fixity depth, in terms of diameter of pile = 8.23 times the dia
5.0 Minimum Pile Length for lateral Capacity
Minimum Pile Length for flexible pile, Lmin = > 4T
Where, T = Relative stiffness factor = 1.51 m
Let us consider a minimum length of pile , Lmin = 4.5 times T = 6.8 m
6.0 Horizontal Capacity of the Pile
Pile fixity condition at top = fixed
The horizontal capacity, H = 12*E*I*y / (L1+Lf)^3
Where, y = Diaplacement of pile at head = 0.007 m
E = Elastic modulus of pile material = 25000000 kN/m
2
I = Moment of inertia = 0.001 m
4
L1 = Unsupported length of pile = 0.00 m
Lf = Fixity length of pile = 3.29 m
The horizontal capacity, H = 12*E*I*y / (L1+Lf)^3 = 73.95 kN
