Qs = π * B α i * S ui * Δ z i (AASHTO1996, Article4.6.5.1.1-1)
Where:
BT/SD/S/P1-005; 1 OF 2
REV.No 02
Qs : Ultimate side resistance in soil. (KN)
α'i : Adhesion factor as a fuction over i th interval (Table: 4.6.5.1.1 - A)
α'i = 0.55
Sui : Incremental shear strenght within 2B below shaft tip (kPA) = c'+σvi*tan(φ').
Sui = c'+σvi*tan(φ').
c' : Cohesion of soil
φ' : Effective internal angle of friction force between soil and concrete = 0.75* φ.
Δzi : Ith increment of shall length (m)
σ'vi : Effective vertical stess at midpoint of i th depth interval
σ'vi = γ1*Δz1 + γ1*Δz1 +γ3*Δz3 + … + γn*Δzn/2 ;Where n is the layer number under calculation
γ = γ' - 9.81 : Unit weight after allowing for buoyancy.
Where:
Qt : Ultimate tip resistance in soil. (KN)
ζ = Factor to account for reduced individual capacity of closely spaced shafts in group ( Article 4.6.5.1.4)
ζ= 0.67
Table 4.6.5.1.4-A
N (SPT, Blows per 300mm) Value of Qt (kpa)
0 <N ≤ 75 58*N (1.2ksf = 58kpa)
N > 75 4407 (90ksf = 4407kpa)
