2 Analysis Results

Bearing Capacity Factors Vertical Load

Nq= 18.35
Nc= 30.05 Ks = 1-sin f
D/L= 18.33

Overburden stress Base Resistance

sigma_b= 196.86 (at Base)
sigma_s= 106.12 (average for Shaft)
Shaft Resistance
Base Bearing Capacity
qu=suNc (for undrained analysis)
qu=cNc+sigma_b*Nq (for drained analysis) Total ultimate resistance
Qu = Qb + Qs
Base (Ab) = 1.13 m²
qu = 4212.60 kN/m²
Qb=qu*Ab Qb= 4764.34 kN Base Resistance Allowable Load

Shaft skin friction

fs=alpha.su (for undrained analysis) Overall factor of safety
fs=c'+Ks.sigma_s.tan(delta) (for drained analysis)

Shaft (As) = 82.94 m²

fs= 20.00 kN/m²
Qs=fs*As Qs= 1658.76 kN Shaft Resistance

Vertical Load
P = 2444.4 kN
Ks = 1-sin f
Ks = 0.5 Coefficient of Earth Pressure

Base Resistance
Qb = 4764.3 kN

Shaft Resistance
Qs = 1658.8 kN

ultimate resistance
Qu = Qb + Qs
Qu = 6423.1 kN

Allowable Load
Qa =Qb/SFbase+Qs/SFsaft
Qa = 2935.1 kN

erall factor of safety

Qu / P = 2.63

OK Actual Load <= Allowable Load
