Piles foundations
Types of piles:
1- Timber piles , 2- Steel H-piles ,
3- Steel pipe piles , 4- Precast concrete
piles , 5- Concrete piles , 6- Composite
piles of different materials .
Main Purpose of using Piles:
1- High Structural Load compression or
uplift pressure.
2- Weak Bearing of upper layer of soil .
3- High Lateral Pressure .
For piles Load Carrying Capacity (Q)
Q = Q1 + 2 * π * r * f * D
where :
Q1 = Base Resistance in Ton
r = Circular Pile Radius in Meters
f = skin Friction between Pile and soil
which vary from 500-2000 ton/m2
D = Depth of the Foundation in meters .

the total mix design equation it should
be treated by adding new (2) cm layer
for binder course and (3) cm for
wearing course for all layer .
2-But if deviations are less than above

STORM WATER FLOW
Sewers must handle storm water
flows during, and after, rain storms,
snow and ice-melting events. The
rational formula for peak storm-water
runoff is:
Q = C*R*A
where:
Q =peak runoff, in ft3
/ s
A = drainage area, acres
C = coefficient of runoff of area
R =average rainfall rate, inch /hours
of rain producing runoff .
In urban areas C = from 0.70 to 0.90.
Residential areas C = from 0.30 to
0.40. according to surface type.

Flow in Pipes & Channels
V = 0.85 C R 0.63
S 0. 54
V = flow velocity in m / sec .
C = co – efficient of roughness ,
Normally = 100 for most type of
Pipes and channels.
R = d / 4 for Pipes ,
d = pipe diameter in (m) , or
channel cross section divided by
Wetted perimeter in (m) units.
S = Sine the flow slope (as %).
Accordingly:
Pipe diameter :
D= 7.45 Q2
C / S
Q = discharge in liter per sec.

NDT Concrete Tests
If we found any failure in normal tests
for concrete ( cubes or cylinders) ,
Popular NDT ( Non Destructive Tests )
can be hold in field to re-check the
results as below :
1. Rebound Hammer Test- RH Test
2. Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity- UPV Test
3. Combined Method UPV & RH Test
4. Core Extraction for Compressive
Strength Test.
5. Ingredient Analysis of Concrete Core
6. Echo Scan or X-ray for steel
reinforcement.
If Still we don’t get satisfied results still
we can do :
1- Load test for the failed part.
2- Redesigning the frame.
Still failed , then our last Decision will
be demolition the failed concrete part .

Investigation Boreholes
The Spacing and Depth of Boreholes for
any structures may viried cosiderably in
the light of local foundation conditions and
the size and loads of the structure .
The grid of Borehles location is usually
decided by the Geologistik Engineer
according to his accumilated Experience .
Normally Boreholes spacing are :
1- For buildings 10 – 30 m apart .
2- Roads and brudges 30 -300 m.
3- Landslides At least 5 in line of profile .
And Depth is :
1- 1.5 x Foundatioin depth , below
foundation depth + one or two contrle
hole to Min. (10) m depth , unless
rock ahead found .
2- Then (3)m. below Roackhead to prove
