Chapter 18, Problem 18.2P

A 1500 kN load was applied on two 20 m long and 500 mm diameter driven piles that were instrumented for measuring the load variation with depth.

  1. a. The variation of frictional resistance per unit area f(z) with depth for the first pile is shown Figure 18.33a. Draw the variation of pile load Q(z) with depth.
  2. b. The variation of pile load Q(z) with depth for the second pile is shown Figure 18.33b. Draw the variation of frictional resistance per unit area f(z) with depth.

3. Determine the maximum load that can be allowed on a 45cm x 45cm diameter bored pile shown in Figure-1 allowing a factor of safety of 3. Take SPT value at the bottom of pile 40. Sand y = 17.0 kN/m o' = 31° 8 m Sand 10 m Ysat = 19.0 kN/m³ O' = 33° Figure - 1
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.

Figure below shows a precast circular pile is driven into two clay stratums to a depth of 14 m. the soil undrained shear strength properties are shown in the figure. Determine the size of the pile if the allowable load for this pile and the factor of safety is 99 kN and 2.5 respectively.
