b) A pre-cast concrete pile of size 310 mm x 310 mm and 16 m length is to be drilled in a stiff clay deposit. The undrained cohesion of the soil along the embedment of the pile is shown in Table 1. Determine the allowable load on the pile using the factor of safety as 2.0. Assume the adhesion factor along the pile is 0.4.
Steel pipe piles are to be used as friction piles (i.e., pile capacity is from shaft resistance only) in an area where a deep deposit of normally consolidated clay exists. The soil unit weight is 17kN/m3, with shear strength cohesion cu equal to 45 kPa. Using the total stress α-method, determine the design axial capacity due to shaft resistance for a pile diameter of 0.30 m and an embedded length of 10 m. Apply a factor of safety of 2.75.
A concrete pile of size 50 cm x 50 cm is to be provided in a clay stratum whose unconfined compressive strength is 110 kPa. Compute the minimum length of pile required to carry safe working load of 450 kN with a factor of safety 2.5. Assume adhesion factor as 0.6.
