In this workshop you will learn how to: read geotechnical reports, design piers, gain insights into practical limitations on site and understand how your decisions above ground impact on the design below: benginaustralia.com/foundatio...
In this video I’m gonna go over some basic points that you should be aware of when designing a pile.
Let me know in the comments if this video was useful to you :)
Inside this video, I'll cover:
1. Introduction (00:00)
2. Piles use (00:27)
3. Piles classification as per AS2159 (01:00)
4. Exposure and durability (02:10)
5. Pile actions - Axial and Lateral loads (02:36)
6. Axial load capacity (03:00)
7. Pile Bearing capacity - Base plus shaft capacity (03:30)
8. Bearing vs friction vs both (04:05)
9. Base bearing capacity (05:02)
10. Shaft bearing capacity for clays and sands (05:59)
11. Uplift on piles (09:48)
12. Lateral loads on piles - bending moment (11:38)

Hi Gabriel(?) I found your channel by searching for building guides in Qld Aus. I am renovating my old Miner's cottage and doing a crash course in construction/building. I am not a builder or engineer but your explanations are giving me a greater understanding of what I need to know in order to understand this process. Watching and rewatching all your videos and really learning, thanks so much

Thanks Lesley. Glad the videos have been helpful to you. Renovating a cottage myself would be a challenge with my limited carpentry skills. Good luck with the project.

Great videos mate. Just thought I'd mention that for downwards loads, AS 2870-2011 G5.3 states that "No side adhesion or friction should be assumed to exist to a depth of 0.75Hs for down loads" which I believe is to account for the depth of the cracked zone.

@bengthebrazilianengineerinAus 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Elliot, you're correct. Hs is the depth of design soil suction change and it's also dependent on the climate, So this value change from city to city. I personally don't take the side adhesion into consideration for short piles (residential) design. Thanks for your input

Do they ever use cris- cross piles in addition to vertical to prevent leaning/ tilting? Or at a 30⁰ angle around outer perimeters in addition to vertical in center?

Great videos, I have watched almost all of them. Can you make another video or refer me to another text or video explaining the design of reinforcement for piles in residential use? Engineers generally add reinforcement when the pile depths are greater than 1.5m-2.0m but I would like to be able to quantify this.

Hi James, thanks for the support. I will do a video on that. Yeah usually minimum reo will suffice for resi projects.

i will highly appreciate if you could give us a video on Reinforced concrete design of piles in different design methods

great idea.. Thanks for the suggestion

BEng - fixed support at the top of a pile would induce M1 and V*. By ignoring e=1.5D at the top of the pile, so technically the total moment (M*) would be = M1 + M2 where M2 = V*1.5D ........eg M* = M1+V*x1.5D?

@bengthebrazilianengineerinAus Жыл бұрын

Are you referring to minimum eccentricity? I usually design for the greater of both values.

How come builders just pour them into the soil without having a vapour barrier as they do with the slab and footings? I thought moisture from the ground can damage the concrete and it will lose its structural integrity

@bengthebrazilianengineerinAus 2 жыл бұрын

The vapour barrier prevents moisture rising through the soil and getting into the house. We are not concerned about that when it comes to concrete piers. See the footings for bridges under water. Bear in mind that if the pier is reinforced, adequate cover must be maintained to protect the steel.
