Refer to Figure 11.26b. 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.
Define the Normalized Tip Resistance of Drilled Shafts in Sand (Ghionna et al. 1994) ?
Figure P10.7 shows a drilled shaft without a bell. Assume the following values:L1 = 6 m cu(1) = 50 kN/m2L2 = 7 m cu(2) = 75 kN/m2Ds = 1.5 mDetermine:a. The net ultimate point bearing capacity [use Eqs. (10.33) and (10.34)]b. The ultimate skin friction [use Eqs. (10.37) and (10.39)]c. The working load Qw (factor of safety = 3)
