Question
A 20 m long bored concrete pile having a diameter of 350 mm is load tested, and the data are given below:
Load (kN) | 0 | 250 | 500 | 750 | 1000 | 1250 | 1000 | 750 | 500 | 250 | 0 |
Settlement (mm) | 0 | 2.0 | 5.0 | 8.2 | 15.0 | 39.6 | 39.5 | 38.2 | 37.5 | 36.1 | 35.5 |
Given: Econcrete = 25 x 103 MN/m2 .
a. Estimate the allowable pile load using Davisson's (1973) method, with FS=2.5.
b. At the maximum load of 1250 kN, what are the total and net settlements?
