The soil profile is: 0–15 ft, c=2200 psf, γ=120 pcf 15–30 ft, c 2700 psf, γ=123 pcf 30–55 ft, c 3250 psf, γ=125 pcf 55–100 ft, c linearly varying with depth from 3250 to 4400 psf, γ=130 pcf The depth of the water table was 15 ft Calculate the ultimate axial capacity in tension (uplift)
2- Assume a 460 mm pipe filled with concrete shown below needs a length of 30 meters to carry the allowable load of 670kN. If the same pile is driven into the same soil profile but different cohesion (soft clay c-12kPa, medium stiff clay c 85kPa), to carry the same 670 kN axial load, how much do you recommend the length of the pile to be increased or decreased? Show calculations and use the Meyerhof and the method. (30 pts)...

Task3 A ten-story building is to be constructed at a site where the water table is at the ground surface. The foundation of the building will be supported on 30 cm diameter pipe piles. The soil investigation at the site and laboratory tests have provided the saturated unit weights, the shear strength values under undrained conditions (average), the corrected SPT values, and the soil profile of the soil to a depth of about 40 m. The soil profile and the...

A 500 mm diameter and 20 m long concrete pile is driven into the ground. The soil profile at the site consists of 5.0 m of sand ( 35 and y- 19.0 kN/m) at the top, underlain by a thick layer of clay (c,- 50 kPa and y- 19.0 kN/m).
