(ii) Geotechnical capacity Check
Soil profile accoring to reference borehole (T115)
The reaction is embedded 20m length into soil as below
- 3.3m loose sandy FILL
- 2.2m OA(E) with low SPT N
- 14.5m OA(B) with average SPT N=85
Pile skin friction = pi x D x l x fs (Note: fs = 2N)
= pi x 1.5 x [14.5(2x85))]
= 11,616 kN
Pile end bearing = 40 N x pi x D^2 / 4 (Average SPT N at toe of pile = 80, Fb=40N)
= 40x80 x pi x 1.5^2 / 4
= 5655 kN
Pile geotechnical capacity= 11616 + 5655
= 17271 kN
Min Geotechnical FOS = 2.0
Geotechnical factor = 17271 / 5700
= 3.0 > 2.0 (OK!)

Tension Pile Test Set Up Check
(B) Reaction Pile & Pilecap Design:
Reaction pile diameter = 1500 mm
No of reaction pile = 2
fcu = 35 N/mm2
Pile length = 20 m
(i) Structural capacity Check
Pile structural capacity = MIN (7.5Mpa OR 0.25fcu) x Ab
= 7.5 x 1000x pi x 1.5^2 / 4
= 13,254 kN > 5,700 kN (OK!)
Tension test load = 11,400 kN
Load taken by reaction pile = 11,400 / 2
= 5,700 kN
Nominal steel reinforcement area, As= 0.5% Ac:
Hence provide nominal rebar of 20T25 full length for the reaction pile, with links T10-250

Design Information :
Reaction pile diameter= 1500mm
Number of pile = 1 for each pilecap
fcu = 35N/mm2
(both sides)
Hence prov ide T25-200 at bottom of pilecap f or both directions and links of T13-150.

Plate to Section and Section Flange to Column Weld
Full single partial penetration butt welds.
So for flange to column weld check not necessary as they are same size same member.
Plate to section needs to check by taking weld to be parent member strength as plate is thinner.
