Chapter 18, Problem 18.9P

Determine the maximum load that can be allowed on a 500 mm diameter and 18 m long pile driven into a clay where γ = 20.0 kN/m3 and cu = 60 kN/m2. Use the a method for determining the skin friction. Allow a factor of safety of 3. What percentage of the ultimate load is being carried by the pile shaft?

The plan and 3D elevation of an earth retaining structure used for support excavation is  shown in Figs. 3 and 4 respectively. The retaining structure is made of wood planks  supported in  the horizontal direction on vertical steel piles (HP sections). The HP piles shape  of an H and are typically used for piles. The section properties of these sections (A, I, S,  etc…) are given in Part 1 of the AISC steel manual. The spacing of the supporting HP piles is  20ft. The height of the piles is 15 from top of the pile to top of the footing. The height of the  water table from the top of the footing is 9 ft as shown in the elevation in Fig. 4. The pile  height and soil properties and the earth pressure distribution behind the retaining structure are  shown in Fig. 5. Figs. 6 shows the equations for earth pressure. q is a live load surcharge that  accounts for traffic on top of the embankment; q is typically assumed to be 250 psf (per the  bridge code (AASHTO)).  Use Fy = 50 ksi 1.
