NOTES :1. This table apply to both medium compact sandy soils (10 < N < 30) and clayey soils of medium (4 < N < 8) consistency including expansive soils. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. For dense sandy soils (N 30) and stiff clayey soils (N 8), safe loads in compression and uplift may be increased by 25%. For loose sandy (4 < N < 10) and soft clayey soils (2 < N < 4) safe loads should be taken 0.75 times table value. For very loose sandy soil (N 4) and very soft clayey soils (N 2) the table value should be reduced by 50%. For piles with bulb of twice stem dia., the table value should be reduced by 15%. If the pile is full of sub soil water, safe load shall be reduced by 25% as per clause B 1.6 given in Appendix B. If the spacing between piles is reduced by 1.5 times instead 2 times the under reamed bulb dia as per normal requirement safe load shall be reduced by 10%. If the under reamed bulb is 2 times pile dia instead 2.5 times pile dia., safe load shall be reduced by 10% as per Clause 5.2.3.3.
