Pile Capacity Calculations

The circular pile has a diameter of 2.31m and is 10m long. Undrained analysis of the pile calculates a base resistance of 5658 kN and shaft resistance of 4354 kN, for a total ultimate resistance of 10012 kN. With an applied load of 5000 kN, the pile has an overall factor of safety of 2.00, indicating the allowable load has not been exceeded.
