-- 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.
A concrete pile group 3x3 with spacing of 0.6m is used to support a wind turbine in a sand deposit. Individual pile diameter = 0.3 m and length=6m. A. If the allowable (working) lateral capacity for a single pile is 95 kN, what is the maximum allowable lateral deflection for each pile? B. Is the lateral deflection acceptable?

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.
A helical pile with 12 in diameter flights and a 2 in square rod is to be installed to a depth of 30 ft in a silty clay. The undrained shear strength is 1,000 lb/ft2 and the groundwater table is at a depth of 40 ft. The individual helixes are located every 5 ft along the length of the pile, and the pile has an average weight of 100 lb/ft (including the embedded soil).

It is constructed inside a sand with shear strength characteristics as given inTable Q2 as well. Calculate the safety factor for a working load equal to Q=300kN. Note : My ID Number is 9477287
Two different single acting hammers are being considered for an open- ended pipe pile. Hammer A has a ram weight of 30 kN and a stroke of 3 m. Hammer B has a ram weight of 15 kN and stroke of 5 m. Both hammers use similar appurtenances. Which hammer will deliver the most energy to the pile? Which hammer will generate the highest stresses in the pile?
A square prestressed concrete pile with a 14 inch side is to be driven to the necessary depth. It needs to be able to support 105 kips. It has been determined that the point resistance qp is 120 ksf and the side friction fs is 450 psf. Use formula 12.2 (see attached image) to estimate how long the pile needs to be with a factor of safety of at least 2.5. Round your answer to a multiple of 5 feet. Use L as a variable to calculate the load in formula 12.2. L can be obtained from this equation.
