1. A twelve-story condominium is planned for construction on the Gulf Coast. The foundation for the building is to be friction piles (no end bearing). A prestressed concrete fabrication facility is within 30 miles of the project (i.e. use square prestressed concrete piles). If the bottom floor interior column loads are 500 tons and pile groups are not to exceed eight, determine the cross- sectional dimensions and length of piles required to support the interior column loads using a factor of safety of 3. Assume the piles have a center-to-center spacing such that the group efficiency is 1.0. (i.e. disregard whether or not the pile group acts as a block). NO cross-sectional dimension should exceed 24 inches. The piles are fully embedded in sand for which y = 118 lb/ft’, '= 32° and &' = 0.75¢* You need to fill in your answers in the table below. Include applicable units. Do not work the problem on this page. Type of pile to be used (i.e. material) Allowable load for pile group based on problem statement Number of piles you have selected to be used for each interior column

A cylindrical tank, 150 ft in diameter, is to be supported by a pile enhanced mat. The loading on the mat is a combination of the dead load of the tank itself, the live load of the tank contents, as well as other loads. Using a sketch, suggest a possible arrangement of the piles and explain the reasoning behind your design.

Carry out the calculations to find the pile cap depth if pile diameter is 12(3/4). Also calculate the minimum spacing required between the piles .
The Young’s modulus of the concrete of the piles is 75.8 GPa and the concrete unit weight is 25 kN/m3. If the hammer strikes the pile at 3 m/s, and the pile cushion has the same cross-sectional area of the pile with a modulus of 2×105 kPa and a unit weight of 7 kN/m3, complete the wave equation analysis of the pile after one impact. Set the problem up in an Excel spreadsheet to carry the calculations until the movement of the pile stabilizes. Plot the displacement of the pile versus time. Note, when calculating the pile spring only, assume an element length of 4 m. This is still long but using the actual element length will make your constant too small, impacting the damping. Note that if using software elements would be less than 1 m.
A proposed highway bridge will be supported by 180 piles, each about 18 m long. The design load per pile is greater than 1000 kN. The soil conditions are neither unusually good, nor unusually bad, and you have limited experience with other pile foundations in the area. Based on this limited information, determine the number of pile load tests required for this project. State the main objectives of pile load tests.
