determine:
Pile Load Test -- You are to use the results of a pile load test given below to
A. The Ultimate Load that could be placed on a 14-inch diameter (O.D.) steel pipe pile,
with 1/2 in. wall thickness, and with closed end (same 14-inch diameter), but not filled
with concrete.
The pile was driven 130 ft. into a medium dense alluvial medium to fine sand deposit.
Use Davisson method to interpret the results and determine both
the Qult and the Qall.
Plot the data on a separate sheet with axes properly labeled.
Use scale for settlement 1-inch = 0.5 in settlement. Use scale for load 1-inch = 50 tons.
