Determination of pile capacity

ROB AT JHANJHARPUR, CH.-105.720KM, NH-57

Considering the nature of subsoil and type of foundation to be constructed at the site deep foundation in the form of pile

Cut off level = 2.00

Effective length of the pile shaft = 21.00

The ultimate bearing capacity (Qu) of piles is given by the following formula:
D
Qu = Ap(0.5DgNg + PDNq) +SK PDitandAsi
i =1
Where Ap = Cross sectional area of pile toe in cm2
D = stem diameter in cm
g = effective unit weight of soil at pile toe in kg/cm3
Pd = Effective overburden pressure at pile toe kg/cm3
Nq, Ng = bearing capacity factors
K = coefficient of earth pressure
d = angle of wall friction between pile and soil
Asi = Surface area of pile stem in cm2
