SYNOPSIS
Since the implementation of the revised Malaysian Uniform Building By Laws (UBBL) in 2012, two (2) States in Malaysia have gazetted the used of Malaysian Standards on Eurocode (MS EN 1997-1:2012) in replacement of British Standards (BS). Hence, the comparisons of the current Malaysian practice (i.e. with reference to BS) with EC7 methodologies, for pile foundation under axial compression load are presented.
This presentation based on commonly used design methodologies for driven pile and bored pile foundations in Malaysia. In Malaysia, empirical equations to estimate ultimate shaft resistance (fsu) and ultimate base resistance (fbu) of piles are commonly correlated to Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) āNā values as they are extensively carried out during subsurface investigation (SI) works. Particular attention is made on the incorporation of partial safety factors published in the Malaysian National Annex (MY NA) in 2012.
Case studies are also presented on the application of EC7 in Malaysian practices for foundation design, to showcase the expected impact of such newly introduced design codes in the Malaysian context.
