Question

a circular pile, 19 m long is driven into a homogeneous sand layer. The piles width is 0.5 m. The standard penetration resistance near the vicinity of the pile is 25. Calculate the allowable bearing force (Qa) of the pile. Use

Answer 1

Point force (Qp) = 704 kn/m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

length = 19 m

Width = 0.5 m

fs = 4

Vicinity of the pile = 25

Find:

Point force (Qp)

Computation:

Point force (Qp) = fs²(l+v)

Point force (Qp) = 4²(25+19)

Point force (Qp) = 16(44)

Point force (Qp) = 704 kn/m²
