PILE FOUNDATIONS • Example: 35/1 A machine foundation is supported by four prestressed concrete plies driven to bedrock. The length of each pile is 24 m, and they are 0.3 mx 0.3 m in cross section. The weight of the machine and the foundation is 1360 kN. Given: unit weight of concrete = 24 kN/m¹ and the modulus of elasticity of the concrete used for the piles = 24.5 × 106 kPa. Determine the natural frequency of the pile foundation system.

13.10 A static load test has been conducted on a 60-ft long, 16-inch square reinforced concrete pile then use this value and the remaining data to compute q,' and the average f, value in the soil. respectively. The data recorded at failure was as follows: Load at head = 139,220 lb, settle- ment at head = 1.211 in, settlement of telltale rod A = 1.166 in, settlement of telltale rod B = 1.141 in. Use the data from tell tale rod A to compute the modulus of elasticity of the pile, which has been driven from a barge through 20 ft of water, then 31 ft into the underlying soil. Telltale rods A and B have been embedded at points 30 ft and 59 ft from the top of the pile, , Telltale rod A is anchored only 1 ft from the mud line (the top of the soil). There is es- ially no side-friction resistance between the top of the pile and this point, so the force at a depth of 30 ft is essentially the same as that at the top of the pile.
