Calculation of Rock Socketing Length: Calculation of Pile Capacity As Per Irc:78-2014 CL 9.2

This document calculates the pile capacity according to IRC:78-2014 for a 1.2m diameter concrete pile socketed into rock. It determines the rock socketing length to be 2.2m based on the maximum axial load, lateral force, and moment applied to the pile. It then calculates the maximum and minimum stresses along the socket length and verifies they are below the permissible rock strength. It also checks the rotation at the top of the socket is within limits for both pinned and fixed conditions.

CALCULATION OF PILE CAPACITY AS PER IRC:78-2014 Cl 9.

2
CALCULATION OF ROCK SOCKETING LENGTH
Dia.of Pile (B) = 1.2 m
Thikness of Pile cap = 1.8 m
Length of Pile (from rock lvl to pilecap center) (L) = 10.418 m
Grade of Concrete = M 35 Mpa
Elastic Modulus of Concrete (Ec) = 3230825 t/m² (Eq. A2-5, IRC-112:2011)
Moment of Inertia of Pile (Ip) = 0.1018 m4
Unconfined Compressive strength of Rock (qc) = 2580.00 t/m² (as per geotech report)
Perm. Comp. strength of the intact rock = 300.0 t/m² (min. of 0.33qc or 30kg/cm²)
Max. axial Load (Qmax) = 310.74 t (at top of rock level)
Lateral Force per pile (H) = 45.81 t (at top of rock level)
Moment at the socket top (M) = 218.00 tm (at top of rock level)

Rotation (θ) for the pinned condition at top of socket:

H
(As per IRC amendment march'11, pile is assumed as pinned at top of socket to find
allowable rotation)
θ= HL² / (2EcIp)
= 45.81 x 10.42² / ( 2 x 32,30,825.00 x 0.1018 )
= 0.007559 radians
Permissible Rotation is 5% of 0.007559 radians
θpermissible = 5% x 0.0075590
= 0.00037795 radians
Calculation of Socket Length
Ls = ( 2 H / σ1 D ) + [ ( 4 H² / σ1² D² ) + ( 6 M / σ1 D ) ] ½
= ( 2 x 45.81 / ( 300 x 1.20 ) + [ ( 4 x 45.81² / 300² x 1.20² ) + ( 6 x 218.00 / ( 300.00 x 1.20 ) ]^0.5
= 2.1775 m
Provided Ls = 2.2000 m
Stresses along socket length
σmax = [H/(LsD)] + [6M / (Ls²D)] + [6H (Ls/2) / (Ls²D)]
= [45.81 / (2.20 x 1.20 ) ] + [6 x218.00 / (2.20² x 1.20 ) ] + [ 6 x 45.81 x ( 2.20 / 2) x (2.20² x1.20)]
= 294.61 t/m²
σmin = [H/(LsD)] - [6M / (Ls²D)] - [6H (Ls/2) / (Ls²D)]
= [ 45.81 / (2.20 x 1.20 ) ] - [6 x218.00 /( 2.20² x 1.20 ) ] - [ 6 x 45.81 x ( 2.20 / 2 ) x (2.20² x1.20)]
= -259.90 t/m²
M 294.61 353.53
H
Resistance along socket length x = 0.138
h = 1.2 m
Socket length of Pile

Pmax = σmax D A A
= 294.61 x 1.20
2.20 m

= 353.53 t/m
Pmin = σmin D
= -259.90 x 1.20
= -311.89 t/m
h = 1.17 m -259.9 -311.89
Shear force is ZERO at section A-A (Pile ) Stress Force
(1/2) * (Pmax * (h-x)/h + Pmax) * x = H
x = 0.138 m 353.5
M
Resistance or Force at A-A = 311.89 t/m H
0.14 m

Rotation (θ) at top of socket under fixed condition:


θ = 0.00009259 radians (θ = ML/EI + PL²/2EI)
(fixed condition) 311.89
< 0.00037795 radians Hence OK
Length of pile upto fixity= 268.5-258.982 + h = 1.2 m + 0.9 = 11.59 m
(Pilecap Bottom- rock level)+h+pilecap depth*0.5
