Answer the following 1-Point bearing piles extend to a stable soil or rock layer below the superstructure. [T\F] 2- In loose sand, the unit skin friction is lower for a high-displacement pile, when compared to a low-displacement pile (at similar depths). [T\F] 3-Typically we place shallow foundations underground. 4- If the spread footing covers more than 50% of the building footprint, a mat or deep foundation is more economical. [T\F]

A high rise building will be built in a reclaimed area in Metro Manila. Concrele piles will be used as its foundation with detalls and plans as follows: C-1 C-2 C-1 C-2 FOUNDATION PLAN C-1 C-2 5150 mm 1950 mm 7450 mm ELEVATION Concrete Piles - 400 mm o C-1 - 1800 x 2000 mm C-2 - 1600 x 2000 mm There are 5 identical footings. Determine the total volume of excavation.
Please explain option.
-- Pile in Sand (friction and end bearing) Make calculations to determine the Allowable Load for a 14-inch square precast concrete pile that is driven into a dense medium to fine sand deposit with = 36 deg. and y = 125 pcf. The pile is driven to 85 ft. depth, and there is still 40 ft. of sand below the pile tip. Groundwater is 6 ft. below ground surface. You are to assume that a static pile load test will be performed on one representative pile for this project. Use the limiting depth and limiting pressure approaches for end bearing and for side friction. State the K and 8 values you use, and justify.
The toe bearing capacity in piles is similar to the ultimate bearing capacity of spread footings. However, the side friction capacity has no equivalent in spread footing design. Why do we ignore the friction acting on the side of spread footings?
The nominal downward load capacity of jacked piles is often greater than the jacking force. Describe (a) a situation in which this difference would likely be very large, and (b) a situation where this difference would be comparatively small. Explain the reasoning behind your examples.

An engineer is designing a deep foundation at a site underlain with loose to medium dense sandy silt and silty sand. Three pile types are being considered: driven prestressed concrete piles, PIFs, and drilled displacement piles. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each type.
The pile driver drives the 91.4 cm centers piles until the penetration under the last hammer blow is 2.54 cm in a quicksand (Bearing = 5.38 ton/m2). The driver’s 1-ton hammer drops 2.6 m. Piles are sawn off and surmounted by a concrete slab 91.4 cm thick. What average bearing power in Ton/m2, does this foundation provide?
