Question

Question 1: Explain the common methods to evaluate (or analyse) the bearing capacity of single piled foundation.

Question 2: What are the typical methods to examine the integrity of the piled?

Question 3: A 60 cm diameter concrete is driven into a ground (soil profile shown in Figure 1) to depth of 20m. The soil stratification consists of 5m of clay underlain by a layer of dense sand. Ground water level is at the ground surface. The soil is saturated. Make  necessary assumptions.

(a) Determine the allowable pile capacity (Q_a) for Factor of Safety (FS) = 2.

(b) Check if the pile satisfies Eurocode 7 (Design Action and Resistance)

(c) The pile to support applied loads G_k = 1200 kN and Q_k = 200 kN

a. Given 2 pile load tests were carried out

b. Measured total resistance, R_c,m for each test pile was 4000 kN

c. Measured base resistance, R_b,m for each test pile was 600 kN

Answer 1

By implementing the fundamental laws and principles of mechanics, respond to the following. Q1: Describe the general methods to assess (or examine) the bearing capacity of the single piled foundation. Q2: Illustrate the typical methods to analyze the integrity of the piled? Q3: A 60 cm diameter concrete is driven to the ground (that is, soil profile illustrated in the problem) to depth of 20m. The soil stratification comprises of 5m of clay underlain via a layer of dense sand. Ground water level is at the ground surface. The soil is saturated. Make obligatory suppositions. a) Find out the allowable pile capacity (Qa) for Factor of Safety (FS) = 2. b) Check if pile satisfies Eurocode 7 c) The pile to support applied loads Gk = 1200 kN and Qk = 200 kN • Provided 2 pile load tests were taken • Measured total resistance, Rc,m for every test pile was 4000 kN • Measured base resistance, Rb,m for every test pile was 600 kN
