2.
Consider a group of 450 mm x 450 mm reinforced concrete piles were driven into
thick loose sand layer with the average unit weight and internal friction angle of 16 kN/m3
and 30°, respectively. Estimate the group pile capacity with the arrangement as shown in
Figure Q2 if the length of pile embedment is 30 m assuming ground water table is far
below the ground surface. Use 8 = 0.80 and K = 1.5Ko.

Figure Q2
A group of piles as shown on the figure has a
cross section of 0.30 m x 0.30 m. It has a total
length of 15 m. The piles are embedded in a
homogeneous saturated clay with Cu = 70
kPa. Unit weight of clay is 18.8 kN/m³ and the
ground water table is located at a depth of
18 m. below the ground surface. Factor of
safety = 4. Compute the allowable load-
bearing capacity of the group of pile acting as
individual piles.
