Question

A 20 m long bored concrete pile having a diameter of 350 mm is load tested, and the data are given below:

Load (kN) 0 250 500 750 1000 1250 1000 750 500 250 0
Settlement (mm) 0 2.0 5.0 8.2 15.0 39.6 39.5 38.2 37.5 36.1 35.5

Given: Econcrete = 25 x 10MN/m2 .

a. Estimate the allowable pile load using Davisson's (1973) method, with FS=2.5.

b. At the maximum load of 1250 kN, what are the total and net settlements?
