Question

Consider a 500 mm diameter pile having a length of 18 m in a clay. Given: gamma = 20.0 kN/m3 and cu=60 kN/m2.

a. Determine the maximum allowable load (Qall) with FS= 3. Use the a method and Table 12.11 for deter-mining the skin friction and Eq. (12.20) for determining the point load. Allow a factor of safety of 3.

b. What percentage of the ultimate load is being carried by the pile shaft? Is it a friction pile?  

Answer 1

Da 500mm L- 18m 20 kN/m Fs: 3 Q1 1802-o ⑥ 600 6 KN 太
