Pile by Meyerhof

The document presents the results of an analysis to determine the axial capacity of a driven pile (NBH-1) with a diameter of 0.4m. Soil properties including thickness, soil type, SPT N-values, and ultimate soil bearing capacity were measured at depth intervals down to 34.5m. Meyerhof's experimental equation was used to calculate the ultimate pile capacity (Qu) and skin friction (Qs) over the length of the pile. The allowable axial compression and tension capacities were then calculated by applying a safety factor of 3.0. The pile was found to have an allowable compression capacity ranging from 3.1 tons at 1.5m depth to 148.5 tons at 28.5
