Pile is loaded in compression.
Determine:
a) ultimate axial capacity Qultsingle(kN) of a single pile =?
b) Axial elastic shortening (in mm) of a single pile loaded to PN,=?
Report your answer in terms of letter P.
c) ultimate group capacity spacing =1m) using an appropriate group efficiency factor =? Ignore 'block' failure.
d) ultimate tip resistance Qulutip-Block (kN) of the group, if you were to consider 'block' failure =?
e) skin friction ) on the sides of the 'block' at 10m depth =?
f) the magnitude of shaft resistance contributed by the Dense Silty Sand to the total ultimate shaft friction (kN)=? for a 23m long single pile.
