load transferred directly by compression to piles over shaded area Question 2 A pile group of...
A group of piles is required to support a central bridge pier carrying a load of 4500 kN. The depth of water above the river bed is 3 m, and the soil is a normally consolidated clay (a 0.4, unit weight 18 kN/m3 and Cu/av 0.5) which is at least 30m thick. The client informs you that 300 x 300 mm concrete piles are being considered, although the maximum length that can be shipped in (due to space restrictions around...
Q2. A pile group consists of 9 solid floating piles in cohesive soil. Each pile's diameter (d) is 0.50 m and the centre-to-centre spacing (s) is 2.5 m. The subsoil consists of a thick deposit of stiff cohesive clay with an unconfined cohesion of 80 kPa. The total unit weight of soil is 17 kN/m3. The pile group efficiency is 0.83. d 0.5m 1.5m (a) Find the allowable load capacity of the pile group if the required factor of safety...
6. (a) In piling technology, explain the difference between a "displacement pile" and (2 marks) a "non-displacement pile". (b) Using graph paper, sketch 3 curves illustrating typical trends of variation of pile head resistance, shaft resistance and base resistance with increasing settlement, as expected from load testing a CFA pile in clay. Explain the differences between the three curves (6 marks) (c) A bored cast in-situ pile of 0.6 m diameter by 10 m long is installed through a 6...
