DESIGN CHECK FOR VERTICAL CAPACITY

From the available soil data it is evident that the piles at these locations are founded at
a very dense silty sand layer, at a depth of 10.5 m from the sea bed. Hence the
capacity is calculated based on the cohesionless soil property at these locations.

Efective overburden pressure(average for 7.5 deep) = pd1 = 38.3 kN/m2 (SP-SM)

Efective overburden pressure(average for 7.5 to 10.5 deep) = pd2 = 110.1 kN/m2 (SM)
Friction angle between pile and soil = d1 = 30 0 (SP-SM)

Skin friction at outside the shaft = Qso2 = 599.6 kN (SM)

Total skin friction at outside the shat = Qso = 1029.0 kN

As the end bearing resistance for the entire base area is much more than the internal
skin friction, the pile behaves unplugged. Hence the internal skin friction is considered
for resistance calculation. For end bearing calculation, only the pile annulus area is
considered.

Inner Area of pile in contact with soil = Asi2 = 8.3 m2 (SM)
