a. Axial Capacity of Pile Foundation Based on The Strength of Material

- Nominal bearing capacity of pile (Pn) = ^2*Ep*Ip/Le^2 = 41,722 kN


- Allow. Axial Load (Buckling) = Pcr/SF = 16,689 kN
*) The analysis result of allow. axial load based on the strength of material shall be compared with end bearing reaction

b. Lateral Capacity of Pile Foundation Based on Broms Method (Considering Pile-Soil Interaction)

The flexural strength based on the strength of pile's material :


- Allow. Flex. Stress of Concrete Pile (Fb)
= 0.40*f'c*10^3 = 8,400 kN/m2
- Sectional Modulus (Wp) = Ip/(OD/2) = 0.01702 m3
- Max. Allow. Bending Moment (My) = Fb*Wp = 142.9 kNm
- Mmax for Cohesive Soil = 9/4*OD*Cu*((L-( f+1.5*OD))^2) = 55.8 kNm
