Settlement calculations:

Everett settlement at SLS:

Assume a value d = 0.36 mm

Ultimate adhesion transfer

Cult = Cf . PF

= 95.358 kN

Ultimate inter granular transfer

Fult = Cf . (1 - PF)

This calculated capacity is close to the SLS pile loading of 44.38 kN

Therefore the assumed settlement at SLS is considered accurate.
