Diameter, D = 0.3 m
Depth of foundation, H = 1.5 m
From IS 2911- (Part 1/ Section 2):2010 the ultimate load capacity (Qu) of pile in granular soil is given by,
Cross sectional area of pile tip, Ap = 0.0707 m²
tan 32 = 0.62
Nq = 24.36 and Nγ =
sin 32 = 0.530
Kp = 1.50
Surface area of pile shaft, As = 1.414 m²
Tension check
From IS 2911- (Part 1/ Section 2):2010 the ultimate load capacity (Qu) of pile in cohesive soils is given by,
From the above values , L≤ 2T, hence it is considered to be a short rigid pile as per Table 5 of IS 2911.
L1/T = 0.235
LT/T = 1.890
zf = 1.50 m
As per IS 2911-Part 4 the maximum deflection is assumed to be 5mm and the lateral load capacity is computed.
Fixed end moment of pile can be computed using C- 4.3 of IS 2911 Part 1 Sec-2
xoc = Quc

From figure 6.28(a) of Pile foundations in engineering practice by Shamsher Prakash and Hari D Sharma ,
Quc = 6.3 kN
Therefore,
xoc = 0.233 m
Mmaxc = [Quc.(e+1.5B+0.5.x0c)
= 4.830 kNm
xof = 0.82.(Quf/γ.B.Kp)^½
Quf = 0.5.γ.L³.B. Kp
(e+L)
= 8.130 kN
xof = 0.8170
Mmaxf = Quf.(e+1.5x0f)
= 11.589 kNm
Overall resistance,
= 16.419 kNm
M = Mmax/FOS
Uplift = 3.227 kN
Since there is no IS code for tensile strength with bending for circular sections, the following
calculation is performed by considering the circular area with equivalent rectangular area,
Pu = 0.0018

Mu = 0.0334
fck x bd³
p/fck = 0.02
