A copy of such plan shall be available at the site for inspection at all times during construction. The design and installation of pile foundations shall be under the direct supervision ofa competent eng who shal certify thatthe piles as instaled satisy the design erteriae oa Pile foundation shall be designed and installed on the basis of a site investigation report that will inch Boring fet pits ox oer Subsurface exploration at lotions and dep uficient to determine sition and adequacy of the bearing soil ‘unless adequate data is available upon Which the desig Installation ofthe piles can be based. The report shall include but not belted “ a) Recommended ple type and capacities, Parsee evasion 6) Field inapection procedure, 4) Pile load test, integrity test requirements, ©) Durability and quality of pile material 4} Designation of Bearing stratum or strata All piles shall be braced to provide lateral stability in all directions. Three or more piles connected by ar cap, shall be considered a being braced, provided thatthe piles are located ina radial direction from centroid of the group, not less than 60 degrees apart circumferentially. A two pile group in a rigid cap shal be considered to be braced along the axis connecting the two piles, Piles supporting, walls shall be drive) alternately in lines at least 300 mm apart and located symmetrically under the centre of gravity of the wall load, unless effective measures are taken to cater for eccentricity and lateral forces, or the wall piles are adequately braced to provide lateral stability Piles left in place where a structure has been demolished shall not be used to support new construction unless satisfactory evidence indicates that the piles are sound and meet the requirements Of the Code. Such piles shall be load tested or redriven to verify thelr capacities = Pile cross-section shall be of sufficient size and strength to withstand driving stresses. Pile diameter cross: section ofa pile shaft at any level shall not be less than the designated nominal diameter /cross-section Bored ‘in-situ piles formed by tremie concreting shall have a diameter not less than 400 mm. Design Considerations 3.41.1.1 Bearing Capacity/Allowable Load /Safe Load : The allowable axial load and lateral loads on piles shall be determined By an established method of analysis or load test, ‘The allowable axial load on a pile shall be the least value permitted by consideration of the following factors: i) Thecapacity of the pile as a structural member, ii) Theallowable bearing pressure on soil strata underlying the pile tip, iil) The resistance to penetration of the pile, including resistance to driving, resistance to jacking, the rate of penetration, or other equivalent criteria, iv) Thecapacity as indicated by load test, where load tests are required. 31.1.2 Use of Static Formula : The ultimate load carrying capacity of a pile may be calculated from soil Properties, The soil properties needed are shear strength parameters (cohesion, angle of interna fiction) And soil density Any static formula used shall consider appropriate value of adhesion factor («) for cohesive soil or Coefficient of horizontal soil stress (k,) that is consistent with soil condition and pile installation procedure for estimating frictional resistance of an individual pile. In estimating tip resistance, account shall be taken of the change in soil condition at ple tip due to installation process, The minimum factor of safety on capacity calculated on the basis of static formula shall be 2.5. The factor of safety shall actually depend on the reliability ofthe formula, depending on a particular site and locality and
