3.0 Purpose and Scope
The Purpose of this calculation is to analyse and design the Boundary Wall Structure of 33/11kV GIS
at Brahmpur, Chapra, Saran, Bihar
This calculation establishes the sizes of structural members based on general arrangement of Boundary Wall.
5.0 Assumptions
Theere exists no major assumption throughout the entire calculation. However, standard engineering practices will be
followed whereever required and will be identified within the body of the calculation at relevant locations.
Material Properties
a) The concrete thickness and the reinforcement provided are greater than required and satisfying all structural strength in
bending, shear and compression.
b) The maximum load on piles (Compression, uplift and lateral) shall not exceed the allowable safe load of under rimmed piles.
7.0 Design Philosphy
The proposed site of 33/11kV GIS, Brahmpur, Chapra, Saran is low lying area. The proposed FGL is 3.7m above the NGL. Therefore, there is
requirement to fill the existing ground level by 3.7m. Hence, the boundary wall is designed to resist the filled up soil pressure along with usual
gravity load. The boundary wall will be designed as Brick infilled framed strcutre supported on under reamed pile foundation. There will be
provision of anchor pile to resist the oveturning of wall due to filling. However, there is recommendation to fill the area outside
boundary wall to give greater stability to the wall.
The structural frame for boundary wall is modeled in STAAD Pro. All relevent load is applied and analysed. Based on the output of analysis, the
structural members and foundation
7.2 Calculation of Earth Pressure over Boundary Wall due to Earth Filling
Angle of Shearing Resistance of backfill, f = 30 Degree
Unit Weight of Soil to be retained, gs = 18.0 kN/m3
Surcharge Load = 10.0 kN/m2
Co-efficient of Friction b/w soil and concrete, m = 0.5
Co-efficient of active earth pressure, k a = (1-sinf)/(1+sinf) = 0.33
Effective Depth of Soil Filling, h = 1.70 m
Active Earth Pressure at bottom = ka.g.h = 10.2 kN/m2
Force due to active Pressure, P a = 0.5ka.g.h2 = 18.87 kN/m length of wall
Lever Arm, J1 = h/3 = 0.57 m
Total Force for 1.5m Length of Wall = 28.3 kN
Based on the methodology adopted in Geotechnical Investigation report of the site the Safe load on cast in situ bored
under reamed pile is calculated as follows:
i) This Table apply to both medium compact sandy soils (10 < N <30) and clayey soils of medium (4 < N < 8)
consistency including expansive soils.
ii) For dense sandy soil (N ≥ 30) and stiff clayey soils (N ≥ 8) , safe loads in compression and uplift may be increased by 25%.
iii) For loose sandy (4 < N < 10) and soft clayey soils (2 < N 4) safe loads should be taken 0.75 times Table value.
iv) For very loose sandy soil (N ≤ 4) and very soft clayey soils (N ≤ 2 ) the Table value should be reduced by 50%.
v) For piles with bulb of twice stem dia, the table value should be reduced by 15%.
vi) If the pile is full of sub soil water, safe load shall be reduced by 25% as per clause B 1.6 given in Appendix B.
vii) If the spacing between piles is reduced by 1.5 times instead 2 times the under seamed bulb dia. as per normal requirements
safe load shall be reduced by 10%
viii) If the under reamed bulb is 2 times pile dia. instead 2.5 times pile dia, safe load shall be reduced by 10% as per clause 5.2.3.3.
Based on above criteria and using table 1 of IS 2911 Part III Calculation of Pile Capacity

Select Double Under Reamed Pile having 300 Dia, 750 Under-Reamed diameter and 3.5m Long
Select Single Under Reamed Pile having 300 Dia, 750 Under-Reamed diameter and 3.0m Long
Select Double Under Reamed Pile having 300 Dia, 750 Under-Reamed diameter and 3.5m Long
