1 b) driven in a uniform deposit of sand , angle of internal friction is 400 . the average dry unit
weight of sand is 18kN/m3. using Nq=137, ẟ= 3/4 of 400. K=2.0 and factor of safety =2.5. 13 5 3

OR
Discuss about the negative skin friction of pile, and write the set of formulae for negative
2a) skin friction in different soils. 12 5 2
A nine pile group arranged in a square pattern is used as a foundation for a column in sand
angle of internal friction is 320 . piles 300mmin diameter and 10m in length, are placed at a
