Subsoil Layer 2 : Stiff Sandy CLAY or Sandy SILT –Assumed Non – Compressible Soil
2. Basis of Calculation
a) Bulk density of fill = 19.0 kN/m3
b) Bulk density of soft CLAY are 15.0 kN/m3.
c) Density of water = 10 kN/m3.
d) Use BH-10 as it is the most critical boreholes by observation from borehole
logs.
5. Computation of Negative Skin Friction at Each Levels (NSF1, NSF2 & NSF3)
Negative skin frictions from final platform level to existing ground level (NSF1),
existing ground level to ground water table (NSF2), from ground water table to
neutral depth (NSF3) are computed separately.
Therefore,
For different size of piles, the computed negative skin frictions are as follows:
Pile Type Pile Size Pile Perimeter Estimated NSF Adopted NSF

RC Piles 400 1.60 320 350
