Please help me solve The soil profile and soil properties at a site are shown in the table below. A group of 12 concrete piles in a 3 x 4 matrix and of length 12 m is used to support a load. The pile diameter is 0.45 m and pile spacing is 1.5 m. Determine the allowable load capacity for a factor of safety of 2. Calculate the total settlement (elastic and consolidation) under the allowable load. Assume Ep 520 x 106 kPa.
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.
Calculate the pile's allowable bearing load using the corrected SPT values at various depths given in the figure below (factor of safety is 1.5). 10m D=1m 2m 2m 2m 2m 2m SPT1=14. SPT2=16 SPT3=18. SPT4=18 -- SPT5=20. Corrected SPT Values
