Chapter 12, Problem 12.8P

Consider a 500 mm diameter pile having a length of 18 m in a clay. Given: γ = 20.0 kN/m3 and cu = 60 kN/m2.

  1. a. Determine the maximum allowable load (Qall) with FS = 3. Use the α method and Table 12.11 for determining the skin friction and Eq. (12.20) for determining the point load. Allow a factor of safety of 3.
  2. b. What percentage of the ultimate load is being carried by the pile shaft? Is it a friction pile?

A concrete pile 20 m long having a cross section of 0.46 m × 0.46 m is fully embedded in a saturated clay layer. For the clay, given: Yat = 18 kN/m², = 0, and Cu = 80 kN/m?. Determine the allowable load that the pile can carry (FS = 3). Use %3D the A method to estimate the skin resistance.
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.
