Question

A concrete pile 0.133ft by 0.133ft in cross section is shown below. Pile length 10 m . 

Answer a) ii, iii, iv 

Where a = empirical adhesion factor. The approximate variation of the
value of a is shown in Table 9.10.

Note: p. = atmospheric pressure
- 100 kN/m² or 2000 Ib/ft²
fav = 0.02p,(Ng0)
(9.45)
where
(No) = average value of standard penetration resistance
P. = atmospheric pressure (=100 kN/m² or 2000 Ib/ft?)
For low-displacement driven piles
fav = 0.01p,(No)
(9.46)
Briaud et al. (1985) suggested that
fav - 0.224 p,(N)°29
(9.47)
The ultimate side resistance can thus be given as
Q, = Efp AL = ac„p AL
(9.59)
