NOTES :-
1. This table apply to both medium compact sandy soils (10 < N < 30) and clayey soils of medium (4 < N < 8) consistency including
expansive soils.
2. For dense sandy soils (N ≥ 30) and stiff clayey soils (N ≥ 8), safe loads in compression and uplift may be increased by 25%.
3. For loose sandy (4 < N < 10) and soft clayey soils (2 < N < 4) safe loads should be taken 0.75 times table value.
4. For very loose sandy soil (N ≤ 4) and very soft clayey soils (N ≤ 2) the table value should be reduced by 50%.
5. For piles with bulb of twice stem dia., the table value should be reduced by 15%.
6. If the pile is full of sub soil water, safe load shall be reduced by 25% as per clause B 1.6 given in Appendix B.
7. If the spacing between piles is reduced by 1.5 times instead 2 times the under reamed bulb dia as per normal requirement safe load
shall be reduced by 10%.
8. If the under reamed bulb is 2 times pile dia instead 2.5 times pile dia., safe load shall be reduced by 10% as per Clause 5.2.3.3.
