Question: A double under - reamed pile ( shaft diameter 0 . 5 m , bulb diameter Im . total depth 1 1 m ) is

A double under-reamed pile (shaft diameter 0.5m, bulb diameter Im. total depth 11m) is installed in a stratum of cohesive soil. The centre of the under-rearms are at depths of 8.5m and 10 m respectively from the ground level. Evaluate the ultimate vertical compressive load on the pile. The undrained shear strength along the cylindrical portion is 60 kPa, and the same around the under-resam is 100 kPa and below the pile tip is 150 kPa. The bulb is 65 cm thick close to the stem and 15 cm thick at the edges. Use the IS 2911(Part 3)2021 method.
