OBJECTIVES:

 The student will be exposed to the design of piles, pile groups and caissons with respect to vertical and lateral loads for various field conditions.

UNIT I PILE CLASSIFICATIONS & LOAD TRANSFER PRINCIPLE 10 Necessity of pile foundation – classification of piles – Factors governing choice of type of pile – Load transfer mechanism – piling equipments and methods – effect of pile installation on soil condition – criteria for pile socketing - responsibility of engineer and contractor. 

UNIT II AXIAL LOAD CAPACITY PILES AND PILE GROUPS 10 Allowable load of piles and pile groups – Static and dynamic methods – for cohesive and cohesionless soil – negative skin friction – group efficiency – pile driving formulae - limitation – Wave equation application – Interpretation of field test and pile load test results – Settlement of piles and pile group - codal provisions. 

UNIT III LATERAL AND UPLIFT LOAD EVALUATION OF PILES 10 Piles under Lateral loads – Broms method, elastic, p-y curve analyses – Batter piles – response to moment – piles under uplift loads – under reamed piles – Drilled shaft – Lateral and pull out load tests – codal provision – case studies. 

UNIT IV STRUCTURAL DESIGN OF PILE AND PILE GROUPS 9 Structural design of pile – structural capacity – pile and pile cap connection – pile cap design – shape, depth, assessment and amount of steel – truss and bending theory- Reinforcement details of pile and pile caps – pile raft system – basic interactive analysis – pile subjected to vibration – codal provision. 

UNIT V CAISSONS 6 Necessity of caisson – type and shape - Stability of caissons – principles of analysis and design – tilting of caisson – construction - seismic influences - codal provision. TOTAL: 45 PERIODS 

OUTCOME:
 Students are able to select, analyse and design individual pile, group piles and caissons for different subsoil conditions.
