STATIC PILE CAPACITY (API 2000)

DATA

Pile OD = 20 = 0.508 m
Soft Clay
WT =1 = 0.0254 m
Cu = 2 kPa 1m ID = 18 = 0.4572 m
1 = 11 kN/m3

Sand
= 25 1m
2 = 10 kN/m3

A. MAIN METHOD

Depth Soil Overburden Unit Skin Friction ( f ) Unit End Bearing ( qp )


Type Pressure
At Soft PoZ = 0 = 1 x h Su
Z=0 Clay = 11 x 0 = = ~

m = 0 kN/m2

m
= 0 + 11 x 1 = 0.5 -0.5 1.0
= 11 kN/m2 = 0.5 x 0.182 -0.5
= 1.172 , therefore take = 1.0

f = Cu
= 1.0 x 2
= 2 kPa
At Sand PoZ = 2 = PoZ = 1 f = K v tan (-5) qp = Nq v
Z = 2.0 + 2 .h = 0.8 x 21 x tan (25-5) = 12 x 21 = 252 kPa < 2900 kPa
m = 6.115 kPa < 67 kPa
= 11 + 10 x 1 qp less than limit unit end bearing
= 21 kN/m2 f less than limit unit skin friction for cohesionless soil taken from
for cohesionless soil taken from API table 6.4.3-1
API table 6.4.3-1
