Refer to Figure 11.26b. For the drilled shaft with bell, given: Thickness of active zone, Z = 9 m Dead load = 1500 kN Live load = 300 kN Diameter of the shaft, D, = 1 m Zero swell pressure for the clay in the active zone = 600 kN/m? Average angle of plinth-soil friction, s = 20° Average undrained cohesion of the clay around the bell = 150 kN/m? Determine the diameter of the bell, D3. A factor of safety of 3 against uplift is required with the assumption that dead load plus live load is equal to zero.

Question

Refer to Problem 11.8. If an additional requirement is that the factor of safety against uplift is at least 4 with the dead load on (live load = 0), what should be the diameter of the bell?

Refer to Figure 11.26b. For the drilled shaft with bell, given:
Thickness of active zone, Z = 9 m
Dead load = 1500 kN
Transcribed Image Text:Refer to Figure 11.26b. For the drilled shaft with bell, given: Thickness of active zone, Z = 9 m Dead load = 1500 kN
Live load = 300 kN
Diameter of the shaft, D, = 1 m
Zero swell pressure for the clay in the active zone = 600 kN/m?
Average angle of plinth-soil friction, s = 20°
Average undrained cohesion of the clay around the bell = 150 kN/m?
Determine the diameter of the bell, D3. A factor of safety of 3 against uplift is
required with the assumption that dead load plus live load is equal to zero.
