URGENT - Concrete Pile Reinforcement Design
URGENT - Concrete Pile Reinforcement Design
(OP)
Hi all.
I am designing a concrete pile which is supporting a steel frame, the Moment on the pile due to earthquake force is 15kN/m and the Axial force is 38kN.
I have designed the pile on soil in NZ which has density of 13kg/m^3 bit I am finding it difficult to design the reinforcement in the Pile. I come up with a minimum reinforcement of 8-HD 16's but how do I account for the moment and axial?

If you have more specific questions, go ahead and ask. If you don't really know how to begin approaching the problem, then you shouldn't be the person in charge of this task.
Also, that soil density doesn't really make any sense and your units for moment aren't correct.

How do i account for the soil if I am doing this as a column. Not sure what value of spring constant I should adopt?

RE: URGENT - Concrete Pile Reinforcement Design
as TLHS said, design it like a concrete column.

That said, I'd be seeking geotechnical help for the final design for sure.
I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

Just a note on the wording of your Topic - putting URGENT in it will not help, and might get it deleted.
People answering questions on this site do so on their own time and will reply when they can. Have some respect for those you are asking for help! If it is URGENT, ask your mentor who is paid to help you!
Requesting an URGENT response is a no-no!

Besides why bother when the issue was already sorted! Spoiler!

Rapt was just giving you a bit of good advice. The use of the word urgent on this site, and anything in all caps, usually has the opposite effect, and can often result in your post being removed if someone objects. Just a lesson in good manners, a concept which seems to be in short supply nowadays.
Since you are a new member, welcome, and you are forgiven...this time.
