Please round to the nearest Hundredth (i.e., 0.01). No Comma! A square pile, 21 m long is driven into a homogeneous sand layer. The pile's width (diameter) is 0.4m. The standard penetration resistance near the vicinity of the pile is 12. Calculate the ultimate skin friction force (Qs) of the pile. Use Briaud & Tucker method. Hint: Qs = fs x As Qs = Answer kN
→ A reinforced cement concrete pile weighing 30 kN (including helmet and dolly) isuriven by a drop hammer weighing 30 kN with an effective fall of 0.9 m. The average pen- etration per blow is 15 mm. The total temporary elastic compression of the pile, pile cap and soil may be taken as 18 mm. Coefficient of restitution 0.36. What is the allowable load on the pile with a factor of safety of 2? Use Hiley's formula.
Q- A precast concrete pile is driven with a 50 KN hammer falling through a height of 1.0 m with an efficiency of 0.6. The set value observed is 4 mm per blow and the combined temporary compression of the pile, cushion and the ground is 6 mm. As per Modified Hiley Formula, find the ultimate resistance of the pile.
A 12 inch diameter concrete pile is to be driven into a clay deposit as shown in Figure 2. The pile's design capacity is 30 tons. Determine the length of the pile to carry that 30 tons load if the factor of safety is 2. O Design = 30 tons L = ? Clay Unconfined Compression Strength, qu= 4800 psf Y = 126 pcf - - 12 in. Diameter
