Pile head resistance can be calculated as follow :

Pile Diameter = 0.60 m

Base Area of Pile tip =0.28 sq. m
Unit Angle of Nq* sv kN/m2
Pile Head

Pile Head Resistance (kN)

Axial force through the column = (1200 + 550) kN = 1750 kN

As per design approach 1 the factor will be 1.35.
Therefore the Design Axial Force = 1.35 x 1750 kN = 2362.5 kN
(Say 2500kN)
Hence,
We can provide 0.6m diameter pile for 8m long or 0.75 or 0.9 m pile of 6m long.
