This document provides a summary of the Mayerhof formula for calculating pile bearing capacity based on standard penetration test (SPT) values. It gives the formulas for calculating skin capacity (Qs), bearing capacity (Qb), ultimate load (Qu), and allowable load (Qa) for different soil types. It then provides an example calculation for a pile 18 meters deep with SPT values recorded at intervals, showing the results for Qs, Qb, Qu, and Qa at each depth.

Pile bearing Capacity Calculation Based on S.P.T.

value

MAYERHOF FORMULA : K1 K2
Skin, Qs = K1 x Nav x As SAND 2 400
Bearing, Qb = K2 x Nb X Ab SILT 2.5 250
Ult. Load, Qu = ∑Qs + Qb CLAY 3 100
All. Load, Qa = ∑Qs/2 + Qb/3

Factor of safety: Skin, Fs = 2


Bearing, Fb = 3
Allowable soil bearing capacity
Width, b = 0.4m
Perimeter = 1.6
Ab = 0.16
Qa(conc) =1800
