How to calculate the volume of concrete in a rectangular pile cap having circular piles?

 Let us now calculate the volume of concrete in a rectangular pile foundation having 6 nos. of the pile, as shown below.


Given data:

Pile diameter = 60 cm = 0.6m.( d )

No. of piles = 6 nos.

Length of pile = 18m. (h )

Size of the pile cap = 4.5m ( L ) × 3.0m. (B )

Depth of the pile cap = 0.9m.(H )


The volume of concrete in a pile cap

= L × B × H

= 4.5m × 3.0m ×  0.9m

= 12.15 cum.


The volume of concrete in the piles

= 6nos.× πr2 h

Here,

r = radius of the pile.

= d ÷ 2

= 0.6m ÷ 2

= 0.3m.

h = length of the pile.


The volume of concrete in piles

= 6nos. × 3.142 × (0.3m)2 × 19m.

= 32.23 cum.


The total concrete volume of the pile foundation

= The vol. of concrete in pile cap + total vol. of concrete in piles.

= 12.15 cum + 32.23 cum.

= 44.38 cum.
