The base diameter
The length of the drilled shaft in clay layer 1
The length of the drilled shaft in clay layer 2
The total length of the drilled shaft L is 10.75 m
The unit weight of clay layer 1
The unit weight of clay layer 2
The soil friction angle
The soil friction angle of clay layer 2
The factor of safety FOS is 4.
Calculation:
Find the area of the drilled shat in the clay layer 1
Substitute 1.50 m for
Calculate the value of ratio
Substitute 10.75 m for L and 1.50 m for
Calculate the vertical effective stress
Substitute
Calculate the value of bearing capacity factor
Substitute
Calculate the net load-carrying capacity at the base of the drilled shaft
Get the value of correction factor,
Take the value of correction factor as 0.82.
Substitute
Find the soil-pile friction-angle
Substitute
Calculate the earth pressure coefficient
Substitute
Calculate the perimeter p of the pile using the formula:
Substitute 0.75 m for
Find the critical depth of the drilled shaft
Substitute 0.75 m for
The critical depth of the drilled shaft more than the length of the entire shaft, therefore, the frictional resistance along the pile shaft will increase over the entire length of the shaft.
Consider 0 ft from top of the pile.
Calculate the magnitude of unit frictional resistance,
Substitute 0 m for z.
The frictional resistance (skin friction),
Consider the pile to the depth of 10 m (critical depth of the pile) from the top of pile tip.
Calculate the magnitude of unit frictional resistance,
Substitute 10 m for z, 0.470 for K,
Find the frictional resistance (skin friction),
Substitute 2.36 m for p, 10 m for
Calculate the net allowable point bearing capacity of the drilled shaft using the formula:
Substitute 252.64 kN for
Thus, the net allowable point bearing capacity of the drilled shaft is
(b)
Find the allowable load carrying capacity of the pile
(b)

Answer to Problem 19.11CTP
The allowable load carrying capacity of the pile is
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
Find the ratio of allowable settlement to the diameter of the base using the relation:
Refer Table (19.6), “Normalized Base loading transfer with settlement for cohesionless soils (based on average curve)” in the text book.
Based on the ratio of allowable settlement to the diameter of the base, take the value of end bearing
Find the allowable load
Substitute 50,096.22 kN for
Find the ratio of allowable settlement to the diameter of the shaft base using the relation:
Refer Table (19.5), “Normalized side load transfer with settlement for cohesionless soils (based on average curve)” in the text book.
Based on the ratio of allowable settlement to the diameter of the shaft base, take the value of
Find the allowable load
Substitute 252.64 kN for
Find the allowable load
Substitute 16,031 kN for
Thus, the allowable load carrying capacity of the pile is

- find SFD and BMD by using slope deflection methodarrow_forwardThe following relates to Problems 4 and 5. Christchurch, New Zealand experienced a major earthquake on February 22, 2011. It destroyed 100,000 homes. Data were collected on a sample of 300 damaged homes. These data are saved in the file called CIEG315 Homework 4 data.xlsx, which is available on Canvas under Files. A subset of the data is shown in the accompanying table. Two of the variables are qualitative in nature: Wall construction and roof construction. Two of the variables are quantitative: (1) Peak ground acceleration (PGA), a measure of the intensity of ground shaking that the home experienced in the earthquake (in units of acceleration of gravity, g); (2) Damage, which indicates the amount of damage experienced in the earthquake in New Zealand dollars; and (3) Building value, the pre-earthquake value of the home in New Zealand dollars.
