Static Stiffness Calculation of Pile :

Dia. Of Pile ( D ) = 900 mm

Area of Pile (A) = 0.636 m2
Length of Pile ( L )= 20 m
Modulus of elsticity (E) = 29580 N/mm2 = 29580000 kN/m2
Moment of Inertia (I) = 0.0322 m4

Pile Dia. Allowable Pile Load

(mm)
Compression (T) Shear (T) Tension (T)
900 2500 125 350

Vertical Stiffness :

KFY = Load for unit deflection in vertical direction

= A.E/L
= 94089.91 T/m
Note : The value is increased by 15% considering frictional resistance from surrounding soil.

Hence, KFY,mod = 108203.402 T/m

From Fig.2 -
For , L1 = 0 m
Lf /T = 2.15 (for fixed head pile in sand & normally loaded clay)
K1 = 0.525 kg/cm3 ( for medium Sand) From Table : 1
= 5250 kN/m3
Hence ,

K1 Lf

Therefore, Depth of Fixity (Lf) = 6.08 m

Point of
Fixity
For clay (Cu ) = 0.2 kg/cm2 [Assumed]
K2 = 7.75 kg/cm2 [As per Table-2]
= 775 KN/m2

Hence,
EI
R  4 = 5.921 m
K 2

Therefore, Depth of Fixity (Lf) = 12.73 m

Consider Depth of Fixity = Avg. of two above L f = 9.407315901 m

KFX = KFZ = 12 EI/ (L 1+Lf) 3

= 13731.63 kN/m

Therefore stiffnesses for 900 mm diameter piles are as follows:

Vertical = 108203.4018
Horizontal = 1373.16
