March 2013 until 20 March 2013.

Procedure
1. Extract out relevant parameters of soil based on borehole
data 3. Model development of deep foundation using PLAXIS software

1) From the SI report, extract and list out the relevant parameters
of soil to gather the actual depth of the soil
2) As the depth of each layer of soil is gathered, compute all the
depths to get the overall depth for the borehole pile.
3) Gather the relevant information that needs to be used in a
hands-on calculation later. The information that we need is
cohesion value for soil ( C ), N*c, factor of safety, friction angle
for medium (ø), and saturation value for soil (γ, γsat)
2. Manual calculation of deep foundation
1) Calculate the pile capacity by using Meyerhof’s method..
2) We can obtain the maximum of bearing capacity through the
equation that is stated below
1) Create “New Project” to create a new layout for the project and rename title.
2) By using “Geometry Line”, sketch the diagram of the borehole by placing (0,0) as the starting point.
3) Complete the diagram by extending the geometry line and sketch the layer of each soils that is
involved in the borehole data.
4) To place the fixity, click “Standard Fixities” and place “Plates” into the sketch as an indicator for the
borehole pile. Click “Interface” to interface the plates by clicking at the end of both joints twice to
create a 2D simulation of the borehole pile
5) To set the material of plates and each layer of soils through “Material Sets”. After we set the
materials, drag them to their respective region to assign the materials in the diagram
6) Click “Generate Mesh” to update the current condition.
7) At the menu toolbar, click “Mesh” and choose “Global coarseness” to change the coarseness to
“Medium”.
8) Click “Refine Global” to update the current condition.
9) Then, select “Initial Condition” in the menu toolbar. Set the groundwater table according to the
borehole data that has been assigned to each member in a group. Generate the water pressure and
generate the initial stresses
10) Click the “Calculate” button, then place the input into the respective phase.
11) In Phase 1, click the “Parameters” tab and tick the box for “Reset displacements to zero”. Define the
Phase 1 by clicking onto the region that is the outer part of the groundwater table then click “Update”
for the next operation.
12) In Phase 2, define it by clicking at the point load twice until a pop up appears. Insert the value of Qu
that we obtained from the manual calculation.
13) In Phase 3, select “Total Multipliers” under “Loading Input” then define it.
14) After completing all of the phases, run the calculation and obtain the output.

Results Discussion

We determined that the soil is consist of solid granite and is 6 metres

deep based on our data from the SI Report in Borehole Log. We can
also detect the Deformation Soil, Total Stress, Total Strains, and
other factors involved in pile and foundation building using the
PLAXIS Software results. The overall displacement for the pile is
0.000379m from the surface, according to our Deformed Mesh
result. Because the solid granite soil can hold the complete bearing
capacity that we put to the pile, the pile was not excessively deep.
The pile's total stresses were the highest, particularly towards the
bottom. Following that, the soil above the groundwater level is not
saturated, although the remainder of the soil is.

Conclusion
In conclusion, our objective which is to explore the subsoil condition at the proposal site by two exploration bareholes, to obtain
soil data for the design of proposed project and to calculate the analysis pile using PLAXIS software is achieved. We are also e-POSTER GROUP A11:
able to get the result by using manual calculation which is Excel Sheet and using PLAXIS software. From the data analysis, the DANIEL LEE WERN CHUN, NOR FARHANA SAFIKAH BT RAMLI,
difference value of Qp between manual calculation and PLAXIS calculation is -27.84%, while the difference value of Qs between MUAZ FITRI BIN AZAMAN,
manual calculation and PLAXIS calculation is 28.40%. Next, we get the value of difference value of Qult between manual NURIN QISTINA BINTI MAT YAMAN, THIRHUNAGGAN A/L
calculation and PLAXIS calculation is 24.22%. Lastly, the difference value using manual calculation and PLAXIS calculation of PARAMESVARAN
Qall is 24.22%. So, we can conclude that our objective is successful.
