Determination of pile capacity from the soil parameter using the static equation

(from Vesic 1967 curve)

Depth of pile =

Pile capacity Q = Qp + Qs = point resistance + shaft resistance

Q = Ap (c Nc + d Nq ) + (d) ( ) (k d/2) tan
Note: For cohesionless soil, sand, c = 0
For concrete pile = cu: for = 300, cu = 320, adopt cu = 300
Hence, point resistance Qp = Ap (c Nc + d Nq ) , c = 0
Qp = Ap d Nq
Qp = x 0.62 x 0.25 x 28(18.9 9.81) 30 =

Qs = (20) x ( x 0.6) x(2) x (20/2 x(18.9 9.81) tan 300 =

Q=

Allowable carrying capacity = Pile Capacity / Factor of safety (3.0)

Say, Q allowable =

3,305

Thus, the allowable or safe working load of the 600 mm diameter pile at 20 m depth is 1800KN.

BS 8004 Claus 7:3:8 sub-section b and g recommend that a factor of safety of 2 3 can be applied to ulti

From the soil test report, the safe working load of 600 mm pile is 1200 KN using a factor of safety of 3
Hence, safe working load =

1620

Adopt Q allowable =
