Transcribed Image Text:(a) Determine the allowable load-carrying capacity of the bored concrete
pile for: embedded length = 8 m, and embedded length = 11 m. Take the
diameter of the pile as 0.5m. (Answer Qall = 357 kN @8m and 573 kN
@11m for FS = 3).
FS
The factor of safety generally used ranges from 2.5 to 4, depending on
the uncertainties surrounding the calculation of ultimate load.
