Design for pile foundations[CP4 Clause 7.3.1]
• Every pile design has to satisfy 3 conditions:
1. Adequate safety factor against failure
2. Settlement of foundation under working load should not affect the serviceability of structure
3. Safety of nearby buildings should not be put at risk
![Page 46: Www.bca.Gov.sg StructuralPlan Others Piling Requirements](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012307/553f3a7b550346777c8b46ed/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

Pile Group Effect(CP4 Clause 7.3.4)
I. Group settlement is greater than settlement of individual pile
II. Differential settlement between two pile groups < 1:500
![Page 47: Www.bca.Gov.sg StructuralPlan Others Piling Requirements](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012307/553f3a7b550346777c8b46ed/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

Effect of lateral forces during basement excavation(CP4 Clause 7.4.5.3.2)
If bored piles are subject to lateral forces, reinforcement should be adequately provided for bending moments.
• to full pile length or
• to where bending moment is negligible.

(6) Some good practices in pile design & construction
![Page 62: Www.bca.Gov.sg StructuralPlan Others Piling Requirements](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012307/553f3a7b550346777c8b46ed/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
62
a) Reduce over-reliance on pile base resistance
1) Applying a minimum safety factor to skin friction, for bored piles, where soft toe may occur
![Page 63: Www.bca.Gov.sg StructuralPlan Others Piling Requirements](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012307/553f3a7b550346777c8b46ed/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)

(b) Preliminary pile at borehole locationBorehole
Ultimate test pile
![Page 65: Www.bca.Gov.sg StructuralPlan Others Piling Requirements](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012307/553f3a7b550346777c8b46ed/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
65
(c) Judicious location of strain gauges• Taking into account :
- change of soil layers- thickness- variability
• To aid interpretationeg. measurement of skin friction
at various soil /rock layers
![Page 66: Www.bca.Gov.sg StructuralPlan Others Piling Requirements](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012307/553f3a7b550346777c8b46ed/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
66
(d) Innovative Investigative preliminary pile
• Preliminary piles may be formed with voids at base or soft toes to determine ultimate shaft resistance
CP4 Clause 7.5.4.1
![Page 67: Www.bca.Gov.sg StructuralPlan Others Piling Requirements](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012307/553f3a7b550346777c8b46ed/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
67
(e) Investigative preliminary piles installed using similar construction method as working production piles
Dry hole method
Wet hole methodCP4 Clause 7.5.4.1
![Page 68: Www.bca.Gov.sg StructuralPlan Others Piling Requirements](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012307/553f3a7b550346777c8b46ed/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
68
(f) Proper transfer of load to Kentledge frame
Use stiffener for effective transfer
![Page 69: Www.bca.Gov.sg StructuralPlan Others Piling Requirements](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012307/553f3a7b550346777c8b46ed/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
69
g) Minimum distance between test pile & Kentledge leg
• Distance between Kentledge leg to surface of test pile ≥ 1.3 m (CP4 Clause 7.5.5.2.1)
![Page 70: Www.bca.Gov.sg StructuralPlan Others Piling Requirements](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012307/553f3a7b550346777c8b46ed/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)

(h) No preloading on piles before test
![Page 71: Www.bca.Gov.sg StructuralPlan Others Piling Requirements](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012307/553f3a7b550346777c8b46ed/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)

(i) Conduct working load test at location where it matters
Examples : (1) Piles within the tower footprint(2) Piles carrying larger load

(j) No preselection of pile for working load test
![Page 73: Www.bca.Gov.sg StructuralPlan Others Piling Requirements](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012307/553f3a7b550346777c8b46ed/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
