A concrete pile 50 ft long having a cross section of 15 in. x 15 in. is fully embedded in a saturated clay layer for which γsat = 121 lb/ft3, Φ = 0, and cu = 1600 lb/ft2. Determine the allowable load that the pile can carry. (Let FS = 3.) Use the a method Eq. (9.59) and Table 9.10 to estimate the skin friction and Vesic’s method for point load estimation.
Curve in the figure has been obtained from a static load test on a 60 ft long, 12-in circular solid concrete pile. Using Davisson method, compute the nominal downward axial load capacity. Hint: units should be consistent. Settlement, & (mm) 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 0 Applied Downward Load, P (kN) 500 1000 1500
3. A concrete pile 15.24 m long having a cross section of 406 mm × 406 mm is fully embedded in a saturated clay layer for which Ysat 19.02 kN/m³, Ø = 0, and cu=76.7 kN/m². Determine the allowable load that the pile can carry (Assuming FS-3). Use the a method to estimate the skin friction and Vesic's method for point load estimation.
