e Ground level Avg SPT of soil 30 Vertical capacity analysis only

Calculation of Skin Friction

Weak Rock RQD<25 Skin friction of rock 0 kN/m^2 =ICTAD... BUT max.

Total length of embedment of pile L= 18 m η=(nh/EpIp)0.2 = 0.268 (Required for deflection calculations)
Pile acts as a long pile η*L= 4.832
For a Long pile with fixed head condition L/T= 4.832
Approx. Required moment capacity at service = 943.3 kNm Ultimate= 1556.4 kNm
For a Long pile with free head condition 1886.5 kNm Ultimate= 3112.8

Alternatively, Referring Broms method
0.5
Taking . Eff.density of soil/rock 10 kN/m^3 f= 0.82*(H/(B*Kp*ϒ))
Taking friction angle φ = 30 degrees 0.523599 Radian f= 1.571667
Passive pressure coefficient 3.00 M= 0.5*H*(e+0.67*f)
Required moment capacity at service = 766.59 kNm Ultimate = 1264.871 kNm
For a free head condition = 1533.18 kNm
Concluding: Design moment capacity = 1556 kNm For L>4*T Cantilever defln = H*(e+Zf)3/(3*Ep*Ip)
Deflection at Pile head level (Broms) = 0.0020 m for η*L>4 Brom's eqn defln = 0.93*H/(nh0.6*(Ep*Ip)0.4
Deflection at Pile head level (cantilever) = 0.0179 m Avg. defl. 0.0100 m
