2. DEFINITION
1. Deep Foundations are those
in which the depth of the foundation is very large
in comparison to its width.
3. When Used?
In cases where
The strata of good bearing capacity is not available near the
ground.
In these cases the foundation of the structure has to be
taken deep with the purpose of attaining a bearing stratum
which is suitable and which ensures stability and durability
of a structure.
The bearing stratum is not the only case. There may be
many other cases. For example, the foundation for a bridge
pier must be placed below the scour depth, although
suitable bearing stratum may exist at a higher level.
4. Forms of Construction
Most common forms of construction pertaining to deep
foundations are:
Pile Foundation (more commonly used in building
construction)
Cofferdams
Caisson or Well Foundation
5. Pile Foundations
Where Used :
stratum of required bearing capacity is at greater depth
water-logged soil
Advantages:
Provides a common solution to all difficult foundation site
problems
Can be used for any type of structure and in any type of soil
6. Pile Foundations(contd.)
Situations Which Demand Pile Foundation :
Firm hard bearing strata is located at quite a large depth.
Sub-soil water table is so high that it can easily affect the
other foundations.
Large fluctuations in sub-soil water level.
When it is not possible to maintain foundation trenches in
dry condition by pumping, due to very heavy inflow of
seepage or capillary water.
Canal or deep drainage lines exist near the foundations
Where raft foundations are either very costly or their
adoption impossible due to local difficulties.
When structures are located on river-bed or sea-shore and
foundations are likely to be scoured due to action of water.
7. Types of Piles Based on Function
a) Classification based on Function or Use
1. Bearing Piles or End Bearing Piles
2. Friction Piles or Skin Friction Piles
3. Sheet Piles
4. Tension Piles or Uplift Piles
5. Anchor Piles
6. Batter Piles
7. Fender Piles
8. Compaction Piles
8. Types of Piles Based on Function
(contd)
Bearing Piles
Driven into the ground until a hard stratum is reached.
Acts as pillars supporting the super-structure and
transmitting the load to the ground.
Piles, by themselves do not support the load, rather acts
as a medium to transmit the load from the foundation to
the resisting sub-stratum.
9.
10. Types of Piles Based on Function
(contd)
Friction Piles (Floating Piles)
Piles are driven at a site where soil is weak or soft to a considerable
depth and it is not economical or rather possible to rest the bottom
end of the pile on the hard stratum,
Load is carried by the friction developed between the sides of the pile
and the surrounding ground ( skin friction).
The piles are driven up to such a depth that skin friction developed at
the sides of the piles equals the load coming on the piles.
Skin friction should be carefully evaluated and suitable factor of safety
applied, as it is this which is supporting the whole of structure over its
head.
The load carrying capacity of friction pile can be increased by-
increasing diameter of the pile
driving the pile for larger depth
making surface of the pile rough
13. Types of Piles Based on Function
(contd)
Sheet Piles
Sheet piles are never used to provide vertical support but
mostly used to act as retaining walls. They are used for the
following purposes:
To construct retaining walls in docks, and other marine
works.
To protect erosion of river banks.
To retain the sides of foundation trenches.
To confine the soil to increase its bearing capacity.
To protect the foundation of structures from erosion by river
or sea.
To isolate foundations from adjacent soils.
14. Types of Piles Based on Function
(contd)
Figure: Sheet Piles
15. Types of Piles Based on Function
(contd)
Anchor Piles
Piles are used to provide anchorage against horizontal pull from sheet
piling wall or other pulling forces.
Batter piles:
Piles are driven at an inclination to resist large horizontal and inclined
forces.
Fender piles:
Piles are used to protect concrete deck or other water front structures
from the abrasion or impact caused from the ships or barges.
Ordinarily made up of timber.
Compaction piles:
When piles are driven in granular soil with the aim of increasing the
bearing capacity of the soil, the piles are termed as compaction piles.
17. Types of Piles Based on Materials
a) Classification based on Materials
1. Timber Piles
2. Concrete Piles
3. Composite Piles
4. Steel Piles
18. Types of Piles Based on Materials
(contd)
1. Timber Piles:
Economical to support light structure.
Transmission of load takes place by the frictional resistance
of ground and the pile surface.
Piles are driven with the help of pile driving machine in which
drop hammers delivers blows on the pile head.
To facilitate driving, the lower end is pointed and provided
with a cast iron conical shoe.
Piles are subjected to decay for alternate dry and wet
condition (on account of variation of ground water level)
20. Types of Piles Based on Materials
(contd)
Advantages of Timber Piles:
Economical where timber is easily available.
Can be driven rapidly & as such saves time.
Because of elasticity, timber piles are recommended for sites
subjected to unusual lateral forces e.g. ship, ferry terminals.
Do not need heavy machinery and elaborate technical supervision.
Being light, they can be easily handled.
They can be easily withdrawn if needed.
21. Types of Piles Based on Materials
(contd)
Disadvantages of Timber Piles:
Timber piles must be cut off below the permanent ground water
level to prevent decay.
Liable to decay or deteriorate by salt water/insects.
Restricted length. It is rather difficult to procure piles in required
size and length.
Low bearing capacity.
They are not very durable unless suitably treated.
It is difficult or rather impossible to drive these piles into hard
stratum
23. Concrete Piles (contd)
Pre-cast Piles:
Cast and cured in the casting yard, then transported to the
site of driving.
If space available it can be cast and cured near the work
site.
Driven in similar manner as timber piles with the help of
piles drivers.
Function of reinforcement in a pre-cast pile is to resist the
stresses during handling, driving and final loading on the
pile rather than strengthen the pile to act as a column.
24. Concrete Piles (contd)
Advantages of Pre-cast Piles:
Very effective
Simple quality control
Improves the entire area
Disadvantages of Pre-cast Piles:
Limited in length
Difficult to transport
Not suitable for densely built up area
Requires costly equipment
25. Concrete Piles (contd)
Cast-in-Situ Piles:
Cast in position inside the ground.
First of all a bore is dug by driving a casing pipe into the
ground.
Then the soil from the casing is jetted out and filled with
cement concrete after placing necessary reinforcement in
it.
Cast-in-situ piles are of two types:
I. Cased Cast-in-Situ Piles: metallic shell is left inside
the ground along with the core
II. Uncased Cast-in-Situ Piles: metallic shell is withdrawn
26. Concrete Piles (contd)
Advantages of Cast-in-Situ Concrete Piles:
Not limited in length
Can be cast at any place
Requires less equipment
Cost is less and is depended on the size
Disadvantages of Cast-in-Situ Concrete Piles:
Quality control is difficult
Load carrying is mostly done through end bearing only
Skin frictional resistance is very low.
27. Concrete Piles (contd)
Advantages of Concrete piles:
Durability is independent of ground water level.
For large size and greater bearing power number of piles
required is much less.
Can be cast to any length, size or shape.
Can be used to marine work without any treatment.
Material required for manufacture is easily obtainable.
Concrete piles can be monolithically bonded into pile cap
which is not possible in wooden piles.
29. Concrete Piles (contd)
Disadvantages of Concrete piles:
Costlier than timber piles.
Can not be driven rapidly.
Required elaborate tech supervision and heavy driving
machines.
Must be reinforced to withstand handling stresses.
30. Concrete Piles (contd)
Prestressed Concrete Piles
Prestressed piles are always pre- cast.
The greatest disadvantage of large weight and difficulty in
handling of pre-cast pile is eliminated by prestressed
concrete piles.
31. Concrete Piles (contd)
Advantages of Prestressed Concrete Piles
It has greater ability to withstand extremely hard driving.
It is more durable in sea water because of absence of
crack.
It has greater column capacity than the conventional piles
of same dimension since the concrete is all in compression
It has lesser handling costs because of light weight.
32. Composite Piles (contd)
Piles of two different materials are driven one over the
other, so as to enable them to act together to perform the
function of a single pile.
This type of composite pile is used with the object of
achieving economy in the cost of piling work.
34. Selection of Type of Pile
The nature of the ground, where piling operation is to be
carried out, determines to a large extent the choice of type
of pile to be used.
In addition, the other important factors which must be
considered in this regard are:
The nature of the structure.
Loading conditions.
Elevation of the ground water level.
Probable length of pile required.
Availability of materials and equipment.
Factors which may cause deterioration of pile.
Probable cost of pile.
35. Causes of Failure of Piles
Load on the pile is more than the designed load.
Defective workmanship during casting of the pile.
Displacement of reinforcement during casting.
Bearing pile resting on a soft strata.
Improper classification of soil.
Improper choice of the type of pile.
Insufficient reinforcement in the pile.
Decay of timber piles due to attack by insects.
Buckling of piles due to inadequate lateral support.
Defective method adopted for driving the pile.
Incorrect assessment of the bearing capacity of the pile.
Lateral forces not considered in the design of piles.
36. Pile Driving
I. By Drop Hammer.
II. By Steam Hammer.
III. By Water Jets (Wash Boring ).
IV. By Boring (Auger Boring).
37. Drop Hammer
Hammer is raised by a rope or a steel cable
Then it is allowed to drop on pile cap
Weight of drop depends on the shape and
length of pile and the nature of the ground
Takes a lot of time
38. Steam Hammer
Hammer is automatically raised and
dropped.
A steam cylinder and piston is used.
Steam pressure and the rate of hammer
blow are kept uniform.
39. Wash Boring
Wash boring is a fast and simple method for advancing holes in
soft to stiff cohesive soils and fine sand. Boulders and rock can
not be penetrated by this method.
The method consists of first driving a hollow steel pipe known
as casing pipe/drive pipe in to the ground.
Through this casing pipe, a hollow drilled rod with a sharp
chisel or chopping bit at the lower end known as water jet pipe
or wash pipe is inserted.
Upper end of wash pipe is connected to water pump and lower
end is contracted to produce get action.
40.
41. Wash Boring (contd)
Water is forced under pressure through the drill rod which is
alternatively raised and dropped, and also rotated. The
resulting chopping and getting action of the bit and water
disintegrates the soil.
The cuttings are forced up to the ground surface in the form of
soil-water slurry through the annular space between the drill rod
and the casing.
The slurry is collected and samples of materials are obtained by
settlement.
42. Boring
Can penetrate beds of hard soil or soft rock
Augur or Rotary Drilling can be used.
Precast and In-situ piles may be used.
43. Cofferdams
Cofferdams may be defined as a temporary structure
constructed in a river or a lake or any other water bearing
surface for excluding water form a given site to enable the
building operation to be performed on dry surface.
Cofferdams may be divided into the following category based
on the materials used during construction:
Earthier cofferdam.
Rock fill cofferdam.
Single-walled cofferdam.
Double-walled cofferdam.
Crib V
Cellular cofferdam.(Circular or diaphragm type)
44. Caissons
Caissons are water light structures made up of wood, steel or
reinforced concrete, constructed in connection with excavation
for foundations of bridges, piers, abutments in river and lake
dock structure fore shore protection etc.
The caisson remains in its pose and ultimately becomes as
integral parts of the permanent structure.
Caisson can be broadly classified into the following three types:
Open Caisson
Box Caisson (Floating Caisson)
Pneumatic Caisson
