Objective
The intensity of load have a relationship between with optimal replacement pile location.
(Azmazanzan Abdullah, 2018)
Adding new pile and replace the fail pile with a new one can reduce the effect of eccentricity on the pile
group and retain the centroid of the pile group to the original center.
(Ahmed Hussein Abdullah Muqaibil, 2018)
The movement of all piles in both directions in X & Y is dropped to 30 mm only when pile cap with five
piles under eccentricity. The location of the new pile to be driven is most be suitable to reduce the effect
of eccentricity on the pile group and retain the centroid of the pile group to the original center
(Maged Abdullah Abdulhak Al-Esaei, 2016)
Methodology
Analysis of pile cap assist by Microsoft Excel software. This software
chosen to the program development because it has various functions
and uncomplicated to assist for analyzing, designing and determining
the details of pile cap.
Stage 1
Stage 2
Stage 3
Stage 4
Stage 1
• Insert design data
Pile Size
Pile Cap Size
Load
• The Microsoft Excel will generate the data and analyse each pile in the
group.
Pile Cap Size
Location
Pile Numbers
Stage 2
• Analysis is to justify that the pile cap system is theoretically pass or
failed due to pile eccentricity or pile failure.
• Select which of the pile in the group fails and insert the eccentricity of
each pile.
• 1 pile indicated as failed and another 1 indicated as eccentricity.
• Insert rotation angle of pile cap group.
Stage 3
• Is an important part of this process which focuses on the reanalysis of
pile capacity by recalculating the load on pile cap.
• The location of the replacement pile will be re-evaluated and will be
revised.
• Insert the location of replacement piles and they will reanalyze the
pile capacity with eccentricity consideration.
• Produced Chart Of Optimum Net Coordinate Of Additional Or
Replacement of pile.
Stage 4
• Failure checking of the pile after replacement arrangement to ensures
the new pile group is safe and sufficient
• The moment will be reanalyzed with the new ultimate load of each
pile.
• Compared the value of new moment with the previous design.
• If the new moment is lesser than the moment without pile failure, the
design of pile cap provided in the first stage can be used.
• If the moment is greater than the old moment, the pile cap will
reanalyze again.

Pile Failure Analysis
The location of pile and column with zero eccentricity for pile group
Pile Failure Analysis
• In these studies, one of the piles from the pile group is considered fail
during the pile installation and another one pile are in eccentricity.
• Insert the location of the failed pile and the eccentricity value for each
remaining pile.
• Another design data needs to insert is pile of size, type of pile, column
net services load, pile working load, pile cap dimension, and so on.
• On these studies’ rotation angle be inserted. The angle involve is at
45⁰ and 60⁰. Angle at 0⁰ used as benchmark.
• The pile working loads assumed is 400kN per pile.
• Load intensity for this study is 1.75, 1.50 and 1.25. So, the net service
load applied in this study is 700.50kN, 599.50kN and 500.5kN.
Pile Failure Analysis
Pile Failure Analysis
• The moving of pile due to eccentricity must be indicated by negative and positive
direction.
• For example, if the pile moving in the x-direction, the negative or positive
inserted represent the pile to move at left or right and While for y-direction, the
user needs to insert negative or positive sign in the value to indicate whether the
pile eccentric below or above the original position.

Pile Failure Analysis
• Based on the input data, the program will determine the position of the pile after
pile failure with and without eccentricity and also the centroid of the pile group
before pile failure and after pile failure with considerations of eccentricity.
• The program will do the analysis to determine the pile capacity of each pile after
pile failure.
• The results of this calculation are that when one of the pile has failed, the
remaining piles are theoretically failed due to the distribution of load on each pile
exceeds the working load capacity of the pile.
• Moreover, the presences of eccentricity produce moment at each pile and
causing the piles to have an uneven distribution of load.
• The figure below shows that when one of the piles failed, the remaining piles are
theoretically failed with the presence of moment in both x and y-direction and
the centroid of pile group also move from its original position.

Conclusion
The solution to overcoming the is not necessary if single pile failure is by replacing the failed pile with one
(1) number of piles but sometimes can be two (2) number because the net services load (N) can affected
to the numbers of replacement pile. And also the pile group efficiency does affected to the replacement
pile numbers.
The net services load (N) can affected does not affected to optimum location of replacement pile but
from the changing of rotation angle of pile group integrity can affected to the replacement pile
location.
The net location of the replacement pile chart can help to generate new pile cap size.
