For Pile Design

Since concrete piles had been chosen, where

ks = 1.0

By the analysis for shear force diagram :

=
(Silt) = 0.60

Pile A will bear loading of 1817.20 kN

Pile B will bear loading of 1497.3 kN

Design of pile A and pile B

Location of pile A and B have same type of soil layer.

Pile type: Precast Concrete Spun Pile (Circular)

Outer diameter: 0.3 m
Length: 10 m

1. Calculation for Skin Friction of Pile in Sand

Sand :

Qs1 = (ks)(d)(tan )(As)

= (1.0)( 10.5)(tan3/4(2.48))( (0.3) (1.5))

= 27.54 kN
Silt Firm : Qs2 = CuAs

Sand :

As = Dh

Ab =

1
2
4 D

For Clay: Qs = SuAs

= (0.60)(9.4)( (0.3) (6.0))

For Sand: Qs = (ks)(d)(tan )(As)

= 31.87 kN

Where k = 1.0,
=
Nq = 26.44 (deep foundation)

Qs3 = (ks)(d)(tan )(As)

= (1.0)( 145.5)(tan3/4(6.45))( (0.3) (2.5))

= 1661.10 kN

Skin Friction of the pile: Qs = Qs1 + Qs2 + Qs3

Therefore, Skin Friction of the pile,

Qs = Qs1 + Qs2 + Qs3
Qs = 27.54 + 31.87 + 1661.10

= 1720.51 kN

2. End Bearing of the pile (Qb)

For Sand: Qb = (Ab)(d)(Nq)

Nq = 26.44

Qb = (Ab)(d)(Nq)

=( 4

(0.3)2) (145.5) (26.44)

(From table Meyerhof Values of Nq* For

Driven and Drilled Piles)

= 271.93 kN
3. Ultimate Capacity of the Single Pile (Qult)
Qult = (Qs + Qb)
= (1720.51 + 271.93)
= 1992.44 kN
4. Allowable Bearing Capacity of pile, (Qall)
Qall = (

Q ult

1.2

= 1992.44 kN > 1817.20 kN

(for Pile A)

= 1992.44 kN > 1497.30 kN

(for Pile A)

Therefore, the bearing capacity of the pile is sufficient to support the loading at A and B.
