Ultimate horizontal bearing capacity calculation in cohesive soil

#DIV/0!

/

where : d = Pile diameter = 0.076 m.


Cu = Soil Cohesion = 3,500 kg/m2
L = Depth of pile below ground level [m] = 2.80 m.
e= = 0.20 m.
t = Thickness of steel pipe = 0.002 m.
Hu = Ultimate horizontal bearing capacity
According to Figure 16.7 Ultimate Lateral Resistance of a Short Pile in Cohesive Soil
L/B = 2.8/0.076 = 36.84
e/B = 0.2/0.076 = 2.63
Hu / CuB2 = 50
Hu = 1010.80 kg
F.S. = 2.5
Safe Lateral = 404.3 kg > 189 kg
