Transformer Pile Calculations PDF

This document provides calculations to determine the pile capacity for a pile cap foundation for a 230 kV transformer. It includes calculations for skin friction and end bearing of a 0.5m diameter concrete pile that is 12m long. The skin friction is calculated to be 23.94 tons based on soil properties like SPT values and unit weights at different depths. The end bearing is calculated to be 27.29 tons based on effective overburden pressure and bearing capacity factors at the pile tip. The total pile capacity is determined to be 48.39 tons or 474.7 kN.

Determination of pile capacity for pile cap 2 : (Bore Hole-8)
General Data:
Pile cap bottom level from FSL = 1.5 m
Diameter of pile = 0.5 m
Unit weight of concrete = 2.45 t/m3

Unit weight of concrete in submerged condition = 1.35 t/m
3
Unit weight of soil = 1.8 t/m
3
Unit weight of soil in submerged condition = 0.7 t/m
Distance from FSL to FGL = 0.3 m
Skin friction calculation:
Layer-1
Start depth of layer = 1.5 m
End depth of layer = 12 m
Layer thickness = 10.5 m
Soil parameter:
For clay/silty clay layer
Thickness of silty clay layer = 0m
Average SPT = 0
2
Cohesion value = 0 Kg/m
Cohesion reduction factor, α = 0.7
For sand/silt/silty sand layer
Start depth = 1.5 m
End depth = 12 m
Average SPT = 15.30
Angle of internal friction = 31.67 degree
= 0.553 radian

Effective overburden pressure, Pd = 8.4 t/m
Lateral earth pressure coefficient, K0 = 0.7
Skin friction from clay = 0 ton
skin friction from sand = 59.86 ton
Total skin friction in this layer considering FS=2.5 = 23.94 ton
Overall skin friction = 23.94 ton
End bearing calculation:
End depth of pile from GL = 12 m
2
Effective overburden pressure = 10 ton/m

Average SPT at bottom of pile = 21


Type of soil = sand
Cohesion value = 0 Kg/m2
Angle of internal friction = 33.4337 degree
= 0.584 radian
Bearing capacity factors
Nc = 50.12
Nq = 34.12
Nγ = 35.33
End bearing at tip of pile (F.S=2.5) = 27.29 ton

Pile length below cut-off level = 10.7 m


Weight of pile in dry condition = 5.15 ton
Weight of pile in submerged condition = 2.84 ton

Net capacity in compression = 48.39 ton


= 474.7 KN
