14 Axial capacity of driven precast pile in cohesionless soil using static

bearing capacity equations
Piles in cohesionless soils shall be designed by effective stress methods of analysis
for drained loading conditions. The ultimate axial capacity of piles in cohesionless
soils may also be calculated using empirical effective stress method or from in-situ
methods and analysis such as the cone penetration or pressure meter tests. Dynamic
formula may be used for driven piles in cohesionless soils such as gravels, coarse
sand and deposits where pore pressure developed due to driving is quickly dissipated.
For piles in cohesionless soil, the ultimate side resistance may be estimated using the
following formula:
B 5 cD/′ (6.3.23)
Where, D/′ is the effective vertical stress at the level under consideration. The values
for β are as under.
c = 0.10 for k = 33
c = 0.20 for k = 35
c = 0.35 for k = 37
For uncemented calcareous sand the value of c varies from 0.05 to 0.10.ewrewtf wqgttretgretgretgr
