For the drilled shaft with bell, given:Thickness of active zone, Z = 9 mDead load = 1500 kN Live load = 300 kNDiameter of the shaft, Ds = 1 mZero swell pressure for the clay in the active zone = 600 kN/m2Average angle of plinth-soil friction, Φ'ps = 20°Average undrained cohesion of the clay around the bell = 150 kN/m2. Determine the diameter of the bell, Db. A factor of safety of 3 against uplift is required with the assumption that dead load plus live load is equal to zero.
