    The point bearing capacity, qp, of a pile in sand increases with depth of embedment until it reaches a maximum at a critical embedment ratio of LbyD 5 sLbyDdcr. Beyond this critical ratio, qp remains constant at qld, even as embedment depth increases further. For piles in sand, the point bearing capacity Qp can be calculated as the product of the pile area Ap, the soil bearing capacity q9, and the bearing capacity factor Nq*.

    The point bearing capacity, qp, of a pile in sand generally increases with the depth of embedment in the bearing

    stratum and reaches a maximum value at an embedment ratio of LbyD 5 sLbyDdcr. Note that in a homogeneous soil,
    Lb is equal to the actual embedment length of the pile, L. However, where a pile has penetrated into a bearing
    stratum, Lb , L. Beyond the critical embedment ratio, sLbyDdcr, the value of qp remains constant sqp 5 qld. That is, as
    shown in Figure 12.17 for the case of a homogeneous soil, L 5 Lb.
    For piles in sand, c9 5 0, and Eq. (12.14) simpifies to
