General presentation of under-reamed piles. Mainly for diploma engineers, it is really helpful as its objective, dimensions, usage, etc are shown with proper images. It will really helpful for the basic knowledge of under-reamed piles.
Deep foundations are used when the bearing stratum is located at a significant depth below the surface. The most common types of deep foundations are pile foundations, cofferdams, and caisson foundations. Pile foundations support structures using vertical piles that transfer loads either through end bearing or skin friction. Piles can be made of timber, concrete, steel, or a composite. Cofferdams are temporary structures used to exclude water from a construction site to allow work below the water level. Common types include earthfill, rockfill, single-walled, and cellular cofferdams. Caissons are watertight structures that become part of the permanent foundation. Types are open caissons, box caissons
This document provides information about pile foundations, including:
- Piles transfer structural loads through weak soil layers into stronger soils and rocks below.
- Common types of piles include pre-cast concrete, cast-in-situ concrete (e.g. Raymond, MacArthur), steel, timber, and composite piles.
- Piles are selected based on factors like soil properties, loading conditions, costs, and availability of materials. Proper pile type and design are necessary to safely support structures.
Vibration method for ground improvement techniqueABHISHEK THAKKAE
This document discusses various ground improvement techniques, including vertical drains, soil nailing, stone columns, vibro compaction, and dynamic compaction. Vertical drains accelerate consolidation by facilitating drainage of pore water through columns of pervious material placed in soil. Soil nailing uses steel tendons drilled and grouted into soil to create a reinforced composite mass. Stone columns form vertical columns of compacted aggregate through problem soils to increase strength and reduce compressibility. Vibro compaction densifies loose sands using vibratory probes to achieve a denser soil structure. Dynamic compaction improves soil by repeatedly dropping heavy weights onto the ground from heights of 40 to 80 feet.
Pile foundations are commonly used when soil conditions require deep foundations, such as with compressible, waterlogged, or deep soils. There are various types of piles classified by function (e.g. end bearing, friction, tension), material (e.g. concrete, timber, steel), and installation method (e.g. driven, cast-in-place). The load carrying capacity of piles can be determined through dynamic formulas, static formulas, load tests, or penetration tests. Factors like pile length, structure characteristics, material availability, loading types, and costs must be considered for proper pile selection.
This document discusses different types of in-situ soil tests used for subsurface exploration, including penetrometer tests. It describes the standard penetration test (SPT), which involves driving a split-spoon sampler into the soil using blows from a hammer. It also discusses the static cone penetration test (SCPT) and dynamic cone penetration test (DCPT), which measure soil resistance during penetration. SPT values are corrected based on overburden pressure and dilatancy. DCPT can identify soil variability but is not suitable for cohesive soils or depths with rod friction. SCPT and DCPT provide continuous resistance profiles without boreholes.
Vacuum dewatering is a process that removes excess water from freshly poured concrete to achieve an ideal water-cement ratio and improved properties. Concrete is poured and a vacuum pump then removes 15-25% of the water through a suction mat and filter pads. This results in higher strength, less cracking and shrinkage, improved abrasion resistance, and a smooth, level surface. Vacuum dewatering is commonly used for industrial and commercial floors that require high durability.

This document discusses different methods of constructing underground structures beneath existing surfaces without disrupting traffic, including box jacking, arched jacking, and thrust boring. Box jacking involves pushing pre-cast concrete boxes into the ground with hydraulic jacks to form the structure. Arched jacking and thrust boring use similar techniques to jack pipes through the ground. Freezing the soil is another method used to stabilize the ground and prevent issues like water seepage when constructing underground. Case studies demonstrate how these techniques have been applied to real projects.

Design and construction of well foundationsDar Hilal
Well foundations are commonly used for transferring heavy loads to deep soil strata for bridges. They have a large cross-sectional area and can take large vertical and horizontal loads. Designing well foundations involves determining the depth, shape, size, and type based on factors like minimum grip length and permissible base pressures. Common well foundation types include open, box, and pneumatic caissons. Precautions during construction like uniform dredging are important to avoid tilting and shifts. Well foundations are a low-cost and trusted option for bridge construction due to their high success rates and long life spans, though sinking can be time consuming.
The document discusses different types of shallow foundations. It describes spread footings, combined footings, strap footings, and mat or raft foundations. For spread footings, it provides details on single, stepped, sloped, wall, and grillage footings. Foundations are also discussed for black cotton soils, including strip footings, pier foundations, and under-reamed pile foundations. Finally, potential causes of foundation failure are listed such as unequal settlement, subsoil moisture movement, and lateral soil pressures.
Piles are deep foundations used to transfer structural loads through weak or wet soils to stronger soils below. Piles can be classified based on function (end bearing, friction, tension), material (concrete, timber, steel), or installation method (driven, cast-in-place). Key factors in pile design include soil properties, load types, and groundwater conditions. The ultimate load capacity of a pile considers end bearing and side friction, while the allowable load uses a factor of safety. Dynamic testing and soil parameters can be used to estimate pile capacities.
This document summarizes the procedures for conducting a pile load test to determine the load carrying capacity of a pile. The test involves installing a test pile between two anchor piles and applying incremental loads through a hydraulic jack while monitoring settlement. Loads are applied until the pile reaches twice its safe load or a specified settlement. A load-settlement curve is plotted to determine the ultimate load and safe load based on settlement criteria. The test provides values for maximum load, permissible working load, and pile settlement under different loads.
This seminar report discusses caisson foundations. Caissons are watertight structures used for deep foundations under water, such as for bridges, piers, and docks. There are three main types - open, box, and pneumatic caissons. Caissons can take various shapes and are used when foundations need to extend below riverbeds or in deep water. Advantages include ability to reach large depths, but difficulties include tilting or sinking during construction. Caisson diseases can affect workers if decompressed too quickly from pressurized conditions.
Joints are easy to maintain and are less detrimental than uncontrolled or uneven cracks. Concrete expands & shrinks with variations in moisture and temp. The overall affinity is to shrink and this can cause cracking at an early age. Uneven cracks are unpleasant and difficult to maintain but usually do not affect the integrity of concrete.

Pre-stressed concrete uses tensioned steel strands or bars to place concrete in compression before application of service loads. This counters the tensile stresses induced by loads and prevents cracking. There are two main methods: pre-tensioning applies tension before pouring concrete, while post-tensioning tensions strands after concrete curing. Pre-stressed concrete allows for smaller and lighter structures that resist loads, deflection, and cracking better than reinforced concrete.
This document discusses different types of shallow foundations used in civil engineering. It describes shallow foundations as those placed immediately below the superstructure to distribute structural loads over a wide, shallow area below ground level. The main types discussed are spread footings, combined footings, mat/raft foundations, and grillage footings. Spread footings are used to support columns and walls, and can be wall, reinforced concrete, inverted arch, or column footings. Combined and mat foundations are used when columns are close together or loads are large.
Pile foundation ppt 2 (usefulsearch.org) (useful search)Make Mannan
Pile foundations are used when the bearing capacity of soil is low or uneven and the soil is located at a greater depth. Piles transfer structural loads directly to the soil layer below by end bearing or side friction. Common pile types include timber, concrete, steel, and composite piles which are classified based on function, material, and installation method. Pile foundations provide solutions for difficult soil conditions like compressible, waterlogged, or made ground and are widely used for bridges, buildings, and marine structures.

A shallow foundation is a type of building foundation that transfers building loads to the earth very near to the surface, rather than to a subsurface layer or a range of depths as does a deep foundation. Shallow foundations include spread footing foundations, mat-slab foundations, slab-on-grade foundations, pad foundations, rubble trench foundations and earthbag foundations.
This document discusses different types of footings used in building construction. It describes strip footings, which are continuous strips of concrete under walls. It also discusses raft/mat footings, which are continuous footings that support an entire structure. Finally, it covers isolated/pad footings, which are independent slabs of concrete that support individual columns or piers. The document provides details on when each type of footing would be used based on soil conditions, structural loads, and other factors. It also lists variations of pad footings and references additional resources on foundations.
Working Stress Method v/s Limit State MethodMachenLink
The document compares the Working Stress Method and Limit State Method for structural design. The Working Stress Method is an elastic, stress-based, deterministic design approach where members are designed to remain in the elastic range using allowable stresses. The Limit State Method is a plastic, strain-based, non-deterministic approach where partial safety factors are used and the material is allowed to yield and enter the plastic zone to reach ultimate strength.
This document provides information about pile foundations. Pile foundations are used when the soil cannot support building loads and piles are driven deep into the ground until they reach a bearing stratum. Piles can be made of timber, concrete, or steel. They transfer loads from the building to the stronger subsurface layer. The document discusses different types of piles including end bearing and friction piles and explains how pile caps are reinforced to resist tensile and shear forces from heavy loads. Diagrams show how pile foundations are arranged and how piles transmit loads into the ground.
This document discusses under reamed piles, which are reinforced concrete piles with an enlarged bottom portion called a "bulb". The bulb increases the pile's load carrying capacity. Under reamed piles are constructed using manual tools including a spiral auger to bore the hole and an under-reamer to widen the bottom for the bulb. They are used in soils with low load capacity like black cotton soil, where the bulb increases stability and prevents cracking from soil expansion. Under reamed piles provide 15-20% cost savings over conventional foundations.
This document discusses under reamed piles, which are reinforced concrete piles with an enlarged bottom portion called a "bulb". There are three types - single, double, and multiple reamed piles depending on the number of bulbs. Under reamed piles have a higher load carrying capacity than normal piles due to the bulb. They are used in soils with low load capacity or high water levels. The document describes how under reamed piles are constructed using manual methods, with a spiral auger to bore the hole and an under-reamer to widen the bottom for the bulb. Reinforcement is inserted before concreting the pile.

Well foundations, also known as caissons, are deep foundations used to transfer structural loads through unstable soil layers to more competent soil or bedrock. They are constructed by sinking a watertight retaining structure (caisson) into the ground and then filling it with concrete. Key components include the cutting edge, well curb, bottom plug, steining, top plug, and well cap. Construction involves excavating inside the caisson while applying an air pressure differential to counter soil and groundwater pressures (pneumatic caisson). Workers are at risk of decompression sickness if pressure changes are not controlled slowly.

It provides a brief overview of how each sampler works and the type of samples it can obtain.
Deep foundations such as piles, piers, and caissons are required when surface soil cannot support a structure or when a firm soil layer is too deep to be reached economically by shallow foundations. Piles are slender structural members made of steel, concrete, or wood that are driven or cast in place into the ground. Piles transfer structural loads through skin friction or end bearing. Common pile installation methods include dropping weight hammers, diesel hammers, vibratory hammers, and jacking. Piers are larger diameter cast in place foundations used in dry areas. Caissons are hollow watertight structures sunk into place under bodies of water to form foundations.

This program calculates the consolidation settlement for a foundation based on soil layer properties and foundation data. It allows users to input multiple soil layers and foundation characteristics to determine the total settlement.
An In-Depth Exploration of Natural Language Processing: Evolution, Applicatio...DharmaBanothu
Natural language processing (NLP) has
recently garnered significant interest for the
computational representation and analysis of human
language. Its applications span multiple domains such
as machine translation, email spam detection,
information extraction, summarization, healthcare,
and question answering. This paper first delineates
four phases by examining various levels of NLP and
components of Natural Language Generation,
followed by a review of the history and progression of
NLP. Subsequently, we delve into the current state of
the art by presenting diverse NLP applications,
contemporary trends, and challenges. Finally, we
discuss some available datasets, models, and
evaluation metrics in NLP.
2. INTRODUCTION
Under reamed piles are made by C.B.R.I.( Central Building Research Institute).
They are made of R.C.C.
In the bottom portion of the pile, enlarged portion is given which is called ‘under reamed’
or ‘bulb’.
If pile has one bulb, it is called single reamed, if the pile has two bulbs then it is called
double reamed, and if there are more than two bulbs, it is called multiple under reamed
piles.

4. FEATURES
Dia. Of the pile = 20 to 50cm
Dia. Of the bulb = 2 to 3 times of dia. of pile
Length of the pile = 3 to 8m
Spacing between two piles = 2 to 4m
Spacing between two bulbs = 1.25 to 1.5 times of bulb dia.
Load carrying capacity = 20 to 40 ton

5. APPLICATIONS
1. Black cotton soil expands as it comes in contact with water and it gets contracted as it is
dried out. Because of this reason, there may be a chance of cracks in the structure. To avoid
such damage, under reamed pile are used in black cotton soil.
2. When the soil doesn’t have much load carrying capacity, under reamed piles are used to
increase the capacity.
3. It is used when the water level in sandy soil is high.
4. When there are lifting forces acting, it should be used.

6. INCREASING LOAD CARRYING
CAPACITY
1. By putting more bulbs
2. By increasing the dia. of bulb
3. By increasing the length of pile
4. By providing proper reinforcement

7. Construction of under reamed pile
Under reamed piles are mostly constructed by manual work.
The machine for the construction of pile is made by C.B.R.I. Rurki.
The machine is easy to use and it is light weighted.
It consists of three tools :
1. Spiral Auger
2. Under – reamer
3. Boring guide
7
8. Spiral auger is used to make a hole in the land for the under reamed pile.
The auger contains special cutter at the bottom to dig the land.
The soil that is dug is taken out by the bucket.
8
13. Special cutter is used for making the bulb. By putting enough pressure, we can increase the
dia. of bulb.
The auger is kept through the tripod and after than the digging is done. So the digging is
done in the vertical direction.
After digging the desired depth, the auger is pulled out. The reinforcement is then inserted
in the hole. Concreting is done. If more than one pile, beam is constructed which connect
the piles and make them act like a single unit. The wall is than constructed on the beam.

15. ADVANTAGES
1. It is 15 to 20% cheaper than the strip footing.
2. Less material required.
3. Digging is normal so the work is carried out for anytime of the year.
4. No back filling is required.
5. Shoring is not required.
6. Dewatering is not necessary.
