1 13-14 June 2013, Dublin Worked examples HYD and UPL limit it states Dr. Bernd Schuppener German Federal Waterways Engineering and Research Institute, Karlsruhe Past Chairman of CEN TC250/SC 7

2 Worked example: Verification of uplift of a base slab in an excavation 2

3 Example: verification of failure by uplift UPL H=10 m D=10m 1,0 L SPW =15 m ϕ k ϕ k = 32,5 U k a = 10 m; b = 5 m γ conrete = 24,0 kn/m³ conrete γ = 10 kn/m³ γ Steel d = 2,34 kn/m² Waterpressure: U k =H γ w b a = 5000 kn 3

4 EN : Verification of uplift (1)P Verification for uplift (UPL) shall be carried out by checking that the design value of the combination of destabilising permanent and variable vertical actions (V dst;d )i is less than or equal to the sum of the design value of the stabilising permanent vertical actions (G stb;d) and of the design value of any additional resistance to uplift (R d ): where V dst,d G stb;d + R d (2.8) dst,d stb;d d V dst,d = G dst;d +Q dst;d (2) Additional resistance to uplift may also be treated as a stabilising permanent vertical action (G stb;d ). 4

5 UPL partial factors and model factor Factor type Factor EN German NA and DIN 1054 Permanent unfavourable action Irish NA γ G;dst Permanent favourable action γ G;stb Variable unfavourable action γ Q;dst Angle of shearing resistance γ φ Pile tensile resistance γ s;t Model factor on wall η resistance 5

6 UPL- verification with the weight of the structure only For the verifications the following quantities are needed: Self-weight base-slab: Base-slab: d = 1,0 m, γ concrete = 24,0 kn/m³: Base-area A = a b = 10,0 5,0 = 50,00 m² G concrete = A d γ concrete G concrete = 50 1,0 24,0 = 1200 kn. Self weight sheet-pile-wall: ll d SPW = 003 0,03 m, γ Steel = 78,0 kn/m³ Weight per unit area: g = 78,0 0,03 = 2,34 kn/m², G SPW = L SPW 2 2 (a +b) g g = ,34 34 = 1053 kn Total characteristic weight of the structure: G k = G concrete + G SPW = = 2253 kn 6

7 UPL-verification with the weight of the structure only G Required: V dst,d G stb;d + R d eq. (2.8) V dst,d = U d G d U k γ G,dst G k γ G,stb But: ,00 = 5000 kn > ,90 = 2028 kn Hence UPL requirement not satisfied! U 7

8 UPL-verification including wall frictional resistance R G R U V dst,d G stb;d + R d U d G d + R d U k γ G,dst (G k + R k ) γ Gstb G,stb 8

9 Verification of failure by uplift UPL frictional resistance R The characteristic value of the wall frictional resistance R k will be treated as a stabilising action determined as the vertical component of the characteristic active earth pressure reduced by a model factor of η = 0,80: R k = E ah,k tan δ a η The wall friction angle is assumed to be δ k = 2/3 ϕ k. For horizontal surface area and vertical wall the earth pressure coefficient is K ah,k = 0,25 (from Fig. C 1.1 of EN for ϕ k = 32.5 ) and tan δ a = 0,397. The earth pressure is assumed to act only on the outer surface of the sheet pile wall: E ah,k = 2 (a + b) 0,5 L SPW² γ K ah,k E ah,k = 30 0,5 15² 10 0,25 = 8437 kn R k = E ah,k tan δ k η R k = ,397 0,8 = 2680 kn 9

10 UPL - including wall frictional resistance G R Require: U d G d + R d U k γ Gdst G,dst (G k + R k ) γ Gstb G,stb But: ,00 = 5000 > ( ) 0,90 = 4400 kn Hence UPL requirement is not satisfied U 10

11 Example: Irish verification of uplift failure for UPL Calculation of R d Using ϕ k,inf = 32,5 o, i.e. the inferior characteristic ϕ value, and applying UPL γ ϕ = 1,25 to the tan(ϕ k,inf ) to obtain to ϕ d and δ d, gives a design wall frictional resistance R d value that is slightly greater than the characteristic value R k, which is not acceptable. Hence a superior characteristic value ϕ k,sup is needs to be used. This is obtained, after Bond and Harris (2008), by assuming a normal distribution for ϕ and a standard deviation of 3 o so that ϕ k,sup = 32,5 o ,0 = 42.4 o. Then applying the partial factor of 1.25 as a multiplier to tan(ϕ k,sup ) gives ϕ d,sup = 48.8 o and hence an R d value of 2580 kn with a margin of safety of 1.33 on the characteristic value. 11

12 Example: Irish verification of failure by uplift UPL G R U Require: U d G d + R d U k γ G,dst G k γ G,stb + R k γ G,stb i.e ,00 = 5000 > , = 4608 kn Hence ULP requirement is not satisfied and tensile piles are required 12

14 Irish design for GEO verification E d R d G U R As explained previously, R d is obtained using the superior ϕ value so that for: γ φ = 1,0, R d = 3440 kn γ φ = 1,25, R d = 2580 kn E d = U k γ G -G k γ G,inf = 5000 γ G 2253 γ G;inf DA1.C1: E d = , ,0=4497kN 10 > R d = 3440kN DA1.C2: E d = , ,0=2747kN < R d = 2580kN Hence GEO ULS is not satisfied 14

15 Uplift - verification with tension piles EN Piles - ground tensile resistance (3)P For tension piles, two failure mechanisms shall be considered: pull-out of the piles from the ground mass; uplift of the structure and the block of ground containing the piles. 15
