Question

Asteel pipe pile having a diameter of 0.35 m is driven 15 m into a loose sand with a unit weight of 16.5 kN/m3 and an angle of internal friction of 33°. Compute the design axial downward loading, using the effective stress basic method of statical analysis with a factor of safety of 2.75.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Given data:

Diameter of the pipe = 0.35 m

Depth of driven = 15 m

Angle of internal friction = 33^o

Unit weight of sand = 16.5 kN/m³

FOS = 2.75

Step 2

Calculating the ultimate bearing capacity of the soil:
