Question
A circular pile is to be driven upto a depth of 10 m at a construction
site. The average surface area of the pile is 2 m2 per meter length.
The soil at the site is homogeneous sand, having effective friction
angle of 30°. The ground water table (GWT) is at a depth of 4 m below
the ground surface. The unit weights of the soil above and below the
GWT are 18 kN/m3 and 20 kN/m3 respectively. Takek = 0.9 and the
angle of wall friction (6) = 28°. The total axial frictional resistance
mobilized on the pile against the driving is
%3D
kN.
(Y
= 9.81 kN/m³)
