Pile Foundation Design by Calculation Example2

The document outlines the calculations for determining the load carrying capacity of a concrete pile driven into layered soil, considering both permanent and variable actions. It includes formulas for calculating self-weight, vertical design forces, resistance forces, and design resistance, along with checks for bearing capacity and degree of utilization. The results indicate that the degree of utilization is less than 100%, suggesting that the design is adequate.

Class Exercise 3

A concrete pile of 12 m length and 400mm in diameter is driven in a layered heterogenous soil
is meant to carry a permanent and variable actions of 𝐺𝑘 = 800𝑘𝑁, 𝑄𝑘 = 400𝑘𝑁 as shown in
Figure 3 below. Using EC 7. DA1- C1 and DA1-C2. Determine the load carrying capacity of
the pile with the corresponding degree of utilization. Note the unit weight of concrete is 𝛾𝑐 =
23𝑘𝑁/𝑚3 .
