Pile Capacity

The document provides soil data from a bore hole test with 11 layers. It includes the soil type, depth, bearing capacity values (N), and calculated end bearing and skin friction values for a pile. The pile has a diameter of 12 inches. Equations are provided to calculate the end bearing (qpu) and skin friction (fs) values based on the soil type (sand, clay or silt) and N values. The calculations show the cumulative skin friction and total capacity in tons for a pile at this bore hole location.
