 INTRODUCTION
• In principle the construction of buildings, the main
function of the foundation to transfer a loading
column received to the earth.
• Foundation piling is one of several basic types and
selected from some types of foundation.
• This study to types of rectangular reinforced
concrete piles (RC Piles) and a two ( 2 ) piles group.
• Piling work must be done with very careful and
minimize mistakes and failure.
 PROBLEM STATEMENT
• Usually, failure of the piling works is the
accuracy of the setting centroid point.
• This will lead to changes in load pressure
points as well as changes to the base strength
of the pile and the load distribution to the pile
cap constructed.
• In this regard, a program analysis using
Microsof Excel used and based on the code of
practice EN 1992 EUROCODE MS 1-1 2010.
 OBJECTIVES
• To determine the number/s & location of
replacement pile due to pile failure.
• To produce the optimum location pile
replacement graph due to failure of the RC
pile applies at a variable angle of rotation.
• To determine the new pile cap dimension by
taking account of replacement pile location.

“Studies about analyse the pile cap due to

eccentricity and pile failure. It focuses on
the possibility to reduce the effect of high
eccentricity by increasing the number of
piles and drive in the ideal position..”
 METHODOLOGY
• Microsoft Excel is chosen to fulfil the objectives
of this study.
• A program will be created to perform the
calculation as the user only need to input the
required data.
• This program consists of several stages of
analysing the pile cap.

 To determine the new pile cap
dimension by taking account of
replacement pile location
The solution to overcome single
pile failure is by replacing the
failed pile with two number of
piles.
CONCLUSION
The development of the optimum
location of the replacement of
pile chart can be used as a guide
to propose new location
This program also able to
reanalyse the pile cap due to
single pile failure at any location.
The outcome of this program is to
help engineer to solve problem
regarding a single pile failure at
site in a more convenient way.
