The top 5 m in a site consists of a clay with c u = 80 kN/m

Question:

The top 5 m in a site consists of a clay with cu = 80 kN/m2. This is underlain by a thick clay deposit with cu = 150 kN/m2. A 1.0 m diameter and 15 m long straight drilled shaft is constructed at this site. Determine the maximum load that can be allowed on this drilled shaft with a factor of safety of 3. Use Eqs. (13.33) and (13.37) to compute the point load and shaft load, respectively.


Eqs. (13.33)

Oplnet) = A,C,N
