PROBLEM 3: Four columns x Five rows of
group piles are installed into a uniform clay
layer.
Clay soil: c=40 kPa, Nc=7.5
Piles: Diameter = 350mm, Length=35m, Pile to
pile spacing (center to center)=0.90m, pile
edge distance (center of pile to edge of pile
cap) =0.75m
Pile cap: Thickness=950mm, pile
cover=100mm, clear cover=75mm, db=25mm.
f'c=28 MPa, fy=420 MPa
Hint: Effective depth is found by subtracting
the pile cover, clear cover, and half of bar
diameter to the thickness.
a) Calculate the ultimate capacity of the pile
using single pile analysis if alpha = 0.74
b) Calculate the ultimate capacity of the pile
using block action if alpha = 0.74
c) Determine the group efficiency using the
calculated values above.
