Fxl2. Piles Carrying Capacity Analysis

1. The document summarizes the analysis of the carrying capacity of a 12m long, 0.8m diameter circular pile with a toe depth of 12m under an applied load of 1420kN. 2. The analysis considers soil properties, water table depth, pile properties, and safety factors to calculate the ultimate capacity and allowable load of the pile. 3. The ultimate capacity is calculated to be 2940.5kN with an overall factor of safety of 2.07, indicating the actual load is less than the allowable load.
