Determine the allowable compressive load the pile could now

Determine the allowable compressive load the pile could now safely support. 6. In determining the end bearing capacity for a solid displacement pile in sand, two parts of the bearing capacity equation would be thought to be appropriate to use, ?ZD Nq + .4 B , Ny. Explain why the second part of this equation is usually ignored?

Solution

Answer:-

End bearing pile capacity = ?_ZD * N_q + 0.4 B * ?’ * N_?

We usually ignore second part when diameter of pile considerably less than depth of pile.
