Determine the maximum load that can be allowed on a 450 mm diameter driven pile shown in Figure P12.6, allowing a factor of safety of 3. Use K = 1.5 Ko and δ' = 0.65ϕ' in computing the shaft load. Use Meyerhof’s method for computing the point load.


Figure P12.6

Sand y = 17.0 kN/m d' = 31° 8 m Sand 10 m Ysat = 19.0 kN/m3 o' = 33°

Sand y = 17.0 kN/m d' = 31 8 m Sand 10 m Ysat = 19.0 kN/m3 o' = 33
