Question

Refer to Problem 13.8. If an additional requirement is that the factor of safety against uplift is at least 3 with the dead load on (live load = 0), what should be the diameter of the bell?

Problem 13.8

Refer to Figure 13.25b. For the drilled shaft with bell, given:

Thickness of active zone, Z = 9.15 m

Dead load = 1334 kN

Live load = 267 kN

Diameter of the shaft,  = 1.07 m

Zero swell pressure for the clay in the active zone = 574.6kN/m2

Average angle of plinth-soil friction

Average undrained cohesion of the clay around the bell = 144.6kN/m2

Determine the diameter of the bell, . A factor of safety of 3 against uplift is required with the assumption that dead load plus live load is equal to zero
