Very good video! I came across this video when I was studying for my PE exam. Thanks for the video!

Tqvm Dr atas tunjuk ajar. Sometimes we try avoid fixed in base. But in certain conditions we have to face.

[@engineeringtechnologybd1336]

thanks a lot for giving us such as a calculation.....

[@afibrilliant288]

my lecturer. tq sir

[@ezeemmanuel5767]

very useful and I enjoyed your class

Salam alikom Doctor. Thanks for your nice and simple way of explaining, I hope to give us lecture about the design and check of pile caps (struss method and beam method, also check of punch and shear, and group action), Also need the design of different piles (friction, end bearing and both) Thenks

[@lengsourchea969]

Thank you sir for your Clear explanation

[@vinayaknaik283]

Thankyou sir for excellent explanation

[@pegmatite2231]

Appreciate the video Professor!

[@shaileshsanghavi172]

Very Simple way of teaching. I appreciate your efforts. I have a question that should not we consider the Pile Cap load also to be distributed ? Thanks...

[@yeeyernlim9463]

I like your teaching. Can you upload video on site investigation as well? U teach very well.

[@beemnetameha6620]

Good explanation

[@dubbemand]

What would your approach be if a horisontal load was to affect the foundation? Would you make a calculation of the vertical bearing capacity of a single pile and then distrubute the load evenly among the piles? Or would You use another theory where angled piles would be applied?

[@engineeringtechnologybd1336]

Thanks

[@bzq3386]

The procedure you explained, is it applicable to only symmetrical pile layouts? What if for example you don't have pile number 1? How would that effect the analysis? Please explain.

[@GizachewGirma-vq2nw]

Nice

[@aminulshahan2821]

nice

[@tunazfarafiftunazmi3536]

Hai sir. I was given task to design pile cap for cement silo. I just want to know how to design pile cap only has 1 pile at the centre of pile cap? The pile cap has moment due to wind load.

[@victorimanueltauho176]

excuseme sir, my qation, how if distance x=3 and y=5? thank you sir🙏

[@HuriyyahAinaa]

Dr, for x axis, is the sign convention the same as in y axis? For the additional load or less load

[@aravindhanvinayagam2430]

Sir, can you please give some example if piles are arranged in circular pattern,

[@9378034769]

Informative and useful video sir

[@subanhartono4994]

hello sir if i may know, which standard is adopted in this calculation, is it eurocode?

[@santhoshmankala6348]

If the formula for lateral load distribution??

[@suntharatrang6740]

This method for calculation of pile load in a pile group is very conservative and it works only when the piles cannot move horizontally. Bending moment in each pile is unable to be determined either.

[@pegmatite2231]

This is not a method, this is a fundamental to load distribution in a pile group.

[@santhoshmankala6348]

What is the formula if there is a horizontal force??

[@santhoshmankala6348]

@@kamarudinahmadphd7412 Thank you Sir..What could be the formula for lateral load distribution.?

[@alinhost5501]

Excuse me sir, for the moment in the x and y direction comes from the joint reaction or the moment in the pilecap? Thanks

[@alinhost5501]

@@kamarudinahmadphd7412 Thanks for answere, but I have a problem if the model only have beam on the top pilecap... so I use momen frame (beam)... and the pilecap only be axial force in use.. is it right sir?

[@alexanderodo3802]

How can you determine the diameter of pile

Assalamualaikum. Prof. Boleh saya dapatkan nota. Terima kasih atas lecture yg diberikan
