Settlement calculations:

Everett settlement at SLS:

Assume a value d = 0.29 mm

Ultimate adhesion transfer

Cult = Cf . PF
= 389.91 ×.3
= 116.973 kN

Ultimate inter granular transfer

Fult = Cf . (1 - PF)
= 389.91 ×(1 - .3 )
= 272.937 kN

Ultimate end bearing transfer

This calculated capacity is close to the SLS pile loading of 44.40 kN

Therefore the assumed settlement at SLS is considered accurate.
