PILE FOUNDATIONS
Example: 32/2
A reinforced concrete pile 30ft long and 15 inches
diameter is embedded in a saturated clay of very stiff
consistency. Laboratory tests on samples of undisturbed
soil gave an average undrained cohesive strength c
2500 lb/ft². Determine the net pullout capacity and the
allowable pullout load with F, =3.
Take, alpha = 0.37
Estimate the side resistance Qs by:
a. Using Eqs. (9.40) through (9.42). Use K = 1.5 and 8 = 0.60
