NOTES :
» SUB SOIL UP TO DEPTH (10 X DIAMETER OF PILE) BELOW PILE TIP CONSISTENCY AND COMPOSITION SHALL BE COMPATIBLE AND CONFIRMED BY TEST.

» END BEARING SHALL BE CONSIDERED IF MUD, DEBRIS ETC. FROM PILE TIP IS PROPERLY CLEANED AND COMPATIBLE TO IN-SITU CONDITION.

» WHERE FACTOR OF SAFETY AGAINST LIQUEFACTION IS LESS THAN ONE, SKIN RESISTANCE IS INEFFECTIVE.

» F.O.S AGAINST SKIN & TIP RESISTANCE HAS BEEN CONSIDERED AS 2.0.

» a,b THE TOP 2.0 M OF THE SHAFT SIDES ARE CONSIDERED NONCONTRIBUTING DUE TO CYCLIC LATERAL MOVEMENTS THAT SEPARATE THE SHAFT FROM THE SOIL AS WELL AS
POTENTIAL DESICCATION SEPARATION OF THE SURFICIAL SOIL. ADDITIONALLY, THE BOTTOM 1D OF THE SHAFT SIDE SHEAR IS DISREGARDED TO ACCOUNT FOR LATERAL
STRESSES THAT DEVELOP RADIALLY AS THE END BEARING MOBILIZES.
