A = Pressure area
S is the settlement of the clay layer
A1 = 0.5 (321.4 + 138.5) 1.5 = 345 kN/m.
A2 = 0.5 (138.5 + 77.0) 1.5 = 162 kN/m.
A3 = 0.5 (77.0 + 33.9) 3.0 = 166 kN/m.
A4 = 0.5 (33.9 + 19) 3.0 = 79 kN/m.
S1 = 3450.0001 = 0.0345 m
S2 = 1620.0001 = 0.0162 m
S3 = 1660.0001 = 0.0166 m
S4 = 790.0001 = 0.0079 m
Total Settlement = 0.0752 m = 75.2 mm
Note that almost the half of the settlement of the pile group is due to compression of the upper 1.50
thick layer.

Problem # (21)
One of the exterior columns of a steel frame structure is acted by a vertical force of 10,000
kN, a horizontal force of 2000 kN and a moment of 5000 kN.m. Due to a poor foundation soil; it was
decided to support that column by a pile foundation consisting of a twelve pile group. Piles are
concrete filled steel pipe piles. Allowable axial compressive load on each pile is 2000 kN. It is also
predicted that each pile can also resist a horizontal force of 60 kN. Passive resistance of soil will not
be considered.
Is the selected pile group satisfactory?

Solution:
Column load = 10,000 kN
Weight of pedestal = 1.5 1.5 2 24 = 108 kN
Weight of pile cap = 5.5 7.5 2 24 = 1,980 kN
Weight of soil = (5.5 7.5 1.5 1.5) 2 20 = 1,560 kN
Total vertical loads = 10,000 + 108 + 1,980 + 1,560 = 13,648 kN
Moment = 5000 + 4 2000 = 13000 kN.m
Horizontal loads = 2000 kN
