I have this soil report that says "The structure to be constructed can be supported by shallow spread footings embedded at least 1.80 m below existing ground surface". It goes on to say that the foundation "can be designed with an allowable soil bearing capacity of 200 kPa for gravity loads"...
just a question:
I have modeled the pile cap in SAFE. From the pile cap, i put in 101 fixed supports as the pile head. The reactions from the result will be then transferred to the pile. Based the SAFE report, is the moment transferred directly to the pile or the pile cap first?
avscorreia - any types of driving is out of the question, be it a micropile or not.
PMR06 - yes, it is open. Thinking of the cost implication of your proposal and its corresponding adjustment to the project schedule, i it also out of the question. But if its only the solution, then we will let...
According to the owner, he won't be renting the rig anymore. The driving of the piles for all the structures in the power plant has been finished. Leave it as it is. The option to drive the missing pile is out, and we are preparing for the remedial measure. Thank you for the inputs.
Please see attached for the configuration of the piles and the location of the missing pile. The thickness of the pile cap is 2000mm. The structure is located in a high seismic area and there is a possibility for liquefaction. The silo's diameter is 12.6m and its height is 25.0m.
I have checked...
Good Afternoon!
The Fly Ash silo is reinforced concrete. It is supported by pile cap and driven piles. However, during the driving of the piles, one was not driven. Basing from actual site conditions, they cannot drive the missing pile. Can anyone suggest a remedial measure for this?
Thank you
