Follow-up Question

I need detailed explanation to solve the exercise below. There are some formulas and hints, I also added some tables from the book.
Meyerhof's method, Coyle and Castello's method and Vesic's method were already solved.

I need detailed explanation to solve the exercise below. There are some formulas and hints, I also added some tables from the book.
Meyerhof's method, Coyle and Castello's method and Vesic's method were already solved.

Follow-up Question

I need detailed explanation to solve the exercise below. There are some formulas and hints, I also added some tables from the book.
Meyerhof's method, Coyle and Castello's method and Vesic's method were already solved.

Follow-up Question

I need detailed explanation to solve the exercise below. There are some formulas and hints, I also added some tables from the book.
Meyerhof's method, Coyle and Castello's method and Vesic's method were already solved.

Follow-up Question

I need detailed explanation to solve the exercise below. There are some formulas and hints, I also added some tables from the book.
Meyerhof's method, Coyle and Castello's method and Vesic's method were already solved.

Follow-up Question

I need detailed explanation to solve the exercise below. There are some formulas and hints, I also added some tables from the book.
Meyerhof's method, Coyle and Castello's method and Vesic's method were already solved.

A 20 m long concrete pile with a rectangular cross section of 460 mm × 460 mm fully embedded in sand is shown in
Figure P 12.2. Estimate the ultimate point load or tip resistance Qp by each of the following 4 methods and discuss.
Necessary variables and formulae:
Area of the pile tip
Effective vertical stress at the level of the pile tip
Atmospheric pressure 100 kN/m²
Ap

Irr

Ms
Mean effective normal ground stress at the level of the pile point

Average volumetric strain in the plastic zone below the pile point
Poisson's ratio of soil
1) Terzaghi's method (Use Ng
=
2) Meyerhof's method (Use Table 12.6 for interpolation of Na)
Sand: Qp = min (q', 0.5påtanp') · No Ap
3) Vesic's method (Use Table 12.8 for interpolation of N and modulus of elasticity of soil of Es = 600pa)
