We are constructing pilecaps at site now which measures 1.6m x 5m x 1.3m deep and are each supported by 2 bored piles 800mm diameter. The piles are anchored 70mm from the base of the pilecap. The reinforcement of the piles are 12 pcs 25mm diameter epoxy coated bars and with 12mm spirals 80mm...
I am about to review the footing design of the Contractor which consist of various single column and combined footings which are modeled as finite elements. It is my first time to do such review so my questions are:
1. How can I check the settlements.
2. How can I check the actual bearing...
H2= height of soil from in the passive side of the retaining wall. Yes i believe this can be ignored when checking sliding.
But are the passive and active soil pressures acting simultaneously on the retaining wall? Since in bearing capacity check under the footing, bearing stresses value will be...
Hi to all. I am a starter in design and I am currently evaluating the retaining wall module of the software Prokon.
The part that confuses me here is the H2 input (height of the soil outside the wall)
My question: Is it safe for me to use H2=0 or shall I use the depth of the retaining wall...
Will a concrete column supported by soil buckle? Can we say that the effective length factor K=0 for this condition and therefore makes the critical buckling load Pcr undefined?
