PROJECT: 5-STOREY BLDG OF TUP COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING

LOCATION: SAN MARCELINO ST. COR AYALA BLVD, MANILA

SUBJECT: CHECK PILE CAP CONCRETE COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH REQUIREMENT

COMPUTE FOUNDATION LOAD – ON PILE CAP PC-2 ALONG GRID B & GRID 1 TO 9

LOAD COMPUTATION:

DEAD LOAD:
1. SLAB SELFWEIGHT, CEILING UTILITIES:
5 kPa x 3.5 m X6 m x 5 floors = 525 kN
2. WALL PARTITION
2.4 kPa x 3.1 m high x 3.5 m long x 5 floors = 130 kN
3. BEAM SELFWEIGHT
0.3m x 0.5m x 24 kN/m3 x 3.5m long x 5 floors = 63 kN
4. ROOF DEAD LOAD
3.0 kPa x 3.5m x 6m = 63 kN
TOTAL = 781 kN x 1.4 LF = 1094 kN = 246 Kips

LIVE LOAD:
2 kPa x 3.5 m x 6 m x 5 floors x 1.7 LF = 357 kN = 81.14 Kips
DL + LL Total = 81.14 + 246 = 326 Kips

PILE CAP THICKNESS = 1.25M

EMBEDMENT OF PILE TO PILE CAP = 0.15 M
COVER = .075M
Effective depth of Pile cap = 1.0 meter = 40 inches
Size of pile = 40cm x 40 cm or 16 inches by 16 inches
Punching perimeter, bo = 4 x (40 + 16) = 224 inches
Try fc = 2500 psi:
Allowable punching shear = 4√fc x bo x d = 4 x √2500 psi x 224 in x 40 in =
1792000 lbs = 1792 Kips

Actual Pile Reaction, 5 piles per pile cap:

R = 326 / 5 = 65.2 Kips
Factor of Safety = 1792/65.2 = 27.5 okey, including seismic forces.

Therefore, Pile Cap Concrete Mixture need only to be Class “B”, fc =2500 psi.
