Textbook:
• Tomlinson, J.J., 1977. Pile Design and Construction
Practice, Garden City Press Ltd., Letchworth.
• Canadian Foundation Engineering Manual, 1978,
Canadian Geotechnical Society, Montreal.
• Engineer Manual “DESIGN OF PILE FOUNDATIONS”,
EM 1110-2-2906.
Dr. Youssef Gomaa Youssef 3
Why go deep?
[A] Near surface soils inadequate
• weak relative to applied loads
• erodible
− watercourses, scour of soil
[B] Load orientation
• lateral loading – raked piles
• uplift loading - anchors
[C] Settlement concerns
Dr. Youssef Gomaa Youssef 4
Types of Deep Foundations
1. Driven Piles
MATERIALS
- wood, precast concrete, steel
SECTIONS
- octagons, solid circles, rings, H-sections
LIMITATIONS
Vibrations due to driving? Head room?
Deep foundations usually L/B > 5
L = pile length, B = dia. or breadth of pile
Dr. Youssef Gomaa Youssef 5
Pile material
 Steel; H- piles, Steel pipe
 Concrete; Site cast or Precast
 Wood; Timber
 Composite

Types of Deep Foundations
2. Bored Concrete Piles
• Large diameter?
• Increased base diameter?
– underreamed
• Excavation support?
– Bentonite slurry
• Limited practical depth
• Soil restrictions
Dr. Youssef Gomaa Youssef 10
Caisson Installation Sequence
 Hole drilled with a large drill rig
 Casing installed (typically)
 Bell or Tip enlargement (optional)
 Bottom inspected and tested
 Reinforced
 Concrete placement (& casing removal)

Site Cast Concrete Piles
Cased Piles Uncased Piles
Dr. Youssef Gomaa Youssef 12
Bentonite slurry
Weak soil,
high WT
Concrete
displaces
fluid

Types of Deep Foundations
3. Other
• Driven cast in-situ piles
– driven tube pile, filled with concrete
• Continuous flight augur piles
– hollow augur string
– concrete slurry inserted through tip as
string withdrawn
• Etc, etc,etc

Cast in-situ piling
Dr. Youssef Gomaa Youssef 16
For construction, piles may be subdivided into:
1. Displacement (or large-displacement) piles
2. Small-displacement piles
3. Non-displacement piles
Types of Deep Foundations
Dr. Youssef Gomaa Youssef 17
NON-DISPLACEMENT PILE
Soil is removed
• The excavation may or may not be
supported
DISPLACEMENT PILE
Soil is ‘displaced’ within the adjoining
soil mass
• Displaced volume  pile volume
Dr. Youssef Gomaa Youssef 18
SINGLE PILE LOAD CAPACITY
Capacity dependent on construction
• relaxation of field soil stresses?
− less contact with side soil, less support
• Bentonite slurry used?
− slippery side contact (smeared)
Stress relaxation expected for
DISPLACEMENT PILES
Dr. Youssef Gomaa Youssef 19
SITE INVESTIGATION FOR PILING
1. Soil strength and stiffness
2. Soil chemical analysis  corrosion
3. Possible obstructions to installation
4. Potential for damage to adjoining
structure due to “ground heave”
5. Vibrations
Dr. Youssef Gomaa Youssef 20
SITE INVESTIGATION FOR PILING
After-construction effects of:
1. Expansive soil
2. Negative friction / downdrag
3. Slope instability
Dr. Youssef Gomaa Youssef 21
PILES - design
1. Geotechnical
- strength and stiffness
 “serviceability”
2. Pile structural strength
3. Pile material “durability”
Dr. Youssef Gomaa Youssef 22
GEOTECHNICAL STRENGTH
Vertical compression loading:
ULTIMATE GEOTECHNICAL STRENGTH
- or capacity, Pu
bbssu AfAfP 
Dr. Youssef Gomaa Youssef 23
fs = average, fully mobilized, “skin friction”
(= INTERFACE friction and adhesion)
fb = ultimate base bearing pressure
Dependent upon –
SOIL TYPE
SOIL PROFILE
PILE MATERIAL
INSTALLATION
Dr. Youssef Gomaa Youssef 24
Low load Ultimate load
fs =  max
fs =  max
for the
full
lengthfs <<  max
Base resistance,
fb, mobilized
Dr. Youssef Gomaa Youssef 25
Calculations
Circular pile, length, L:
Pu = fs(Dl) + fb(Db
2/4)
where Db = diameter of base
Note 1: fs may vary down the shaft
(add contributions)
Note 2: fb only at base
Dr. Youssef Gomaa Youssef 26
The equivalent factor of safety is usually
between 2 and 2.5 for static analysis
based on
good soil data
and site investigation
