Variation of N60 with depth in a granular soil deposit is given below. A concrete pile 9 m long with cross-section of 0.305m X 0.305m is driven into the sand. Then, estimate the allowable load-carrying capacity of the pile (Qallow). Use F.S.=4 and Meyerhof's equation for Qp and Qs. Depth (m) N60 1.5 4 3.0 4.5 7 6.0 7.5 16 9.0 18 10.5 21 11.0 24 12.5 20 14.0 19
Following is the variation of N60 with depth in a granular soil deposit. A concrete pile 9 m long (460 mm x 460 mm in cross section) is driven into the sand and fully embedded in the sand. Estimate the allowable load-carrying capacity of the pile (Qall). Use FS = 4 and Meyerhof’s equations
A concrete pile 20 m long with a cross section of 400 mm x 400 mm is fully embedded in a saturated clay layer. The clay has the following properties: γsat = 18.5 kN/m3, ϕ= 0 and cu = 70 kPa. Assume that the water table rises to the tip of the pile. Determine the allowable load that the pile can carry (FS=3). Use the α and λ method to estimate the skin resistance.
