Question: A static load test has been conducted on a 6 0 ft long, 1 6 in square reinforced concrete pile which has been driven from

A static load test has been conducted on a 60 ft long, 16 in square reinforced concrete 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, respectively. The data recorded at failure was as follows: Load at head =139,220lb, settlement at head =1.211in, settlement of telltale rodA=1.166 in, settlement of telltale rod B=1.141 in. The side friction resistance between the head of the pile and point A is negligible. Determine: a) equivalent modulus of the pile, E using the data from telltale rod A;b) the average fn and qn' for the pile.
