Civil Engineering: Piles Design (CIV 2108)

Tip capacity (PP) plus the sum of ultimate skin resistance (Psi,u)

Using the formula: Psi = As * fs * ΔL, where As is effective pile surface area, fs is skin resistance, and ΔL is embedded increment

fs = α * c, where α is a coefficient from Figure 1, and c is average cohesion for the soil stratum of interest

<p>Using the formula: PP = c * Nc * Ap, where c is cohesion of soil beneath pile point, Nc is bearing capacity factor, and Ap is area of pile point effective in bearing</p> Signup and view all the answers
