Determination of pile capacity from the soil parameter using the static equation
Q = Ap (c Nc + d Nq ) + (d) ( ) (k d/2) tan
Medium dense sand: viscosity, = 30
Angle of internal friction, = 300 350
Bulk density, = 15.7 17.3 KN/m3
Total unit weight, t = 18.9 - 20.4 KN/m3
Pile diameter = 0.6 m
Lateral stress ratio, k = 2
Bearing capacity for deep circular foundation Nq = 30
(from Vesic 1967 curve)
Depth of pile = 28 m
Pile capacity Q = Qp + Qs = point resistance + shaft resistance
Q = Ap (c Nc + d Nq ) + (d) ( ) (k d/2) tan
Qp = Ap d Nq
Qp = x 0.62 x 0.25 x 28(18.9 9.81) 30 = 2159.195 KN

Q= Qp + Qs = 9915.89 kN
Allowable carrying capacity = Pile Capacity / Factor of safety (3.0)
3305.3 kN
Say, Q allowable = 3,305
Thus, the allowable or safe working load of the 600 mm diameter pile at 20 m depth is 1800KN.
BS 8004 Claus 7:3:8 sub-section b and g recommend that a factor of safety of 2 3 can be applied to ultimate cap
From the soil test report, the safe working load of 600 mm pile is 1200 KN using a factor of safety of 3. This is
If Qa = 3,305 kN is adopted:
nos. of pile required = 31.4 piles < 64
88,011,980

is 1800KN.
can be applied to ultimate capacity to get the allowable/safe working load on single pile. Sub-section g states that where settleme
