On Mat foundations and Pile Foundations

Name:

$1$D:

Question $1$:

a$-$ Calculate the bearing capacity of the pile group shown below. Use Meyerhof to calculate the skin friction and point bearing of the piles. The group is $5$ by $5$ square group. The piles are circular with a diameter of $0\mathrm{.}5$ and are $20$ m long. The spacing between the piles is $1$ m $.(40$ Points$)$

b$-$ Calculate the elastic settlement of the group, if the settlement of a single pile in the group is $0\mathrm{.}015$ m $.$

$(10$ Points$)$

CLO $6$: Apply methods of evaluating the design bearing capacity and settlement of different types of deep foundations.
