Pile Capacity Based on SPT:

Ref. Book: Foundation Engineering Handbook
By N.V. Nayak(P/146)

Method: Direct method by using Mayerhoof's equation

Qup = Qa x F.S = 40xN(corr.)xAp + N(avg)xAs/5 (Tons)

Capacity for Thrust: Ap = X-sectional area= 0.158963 m2

Pile dia = 0.45 m As = Surface area = 21.195 m2
Pile Length = 15 m Qup = Ultimate capacity
SPT(corr.) on18m = 32.5 Qa = Allowable capacity
Avg. SPT for uplift = 12.72 F.S for Thrust = 4
Qup = 261 Tons F.S for Uplift = 2.5
Qa = 65 Tons
Qa = 638 Kn
Capacity for Uplift: (Considering only skinfriction)
Qup = N(avg)xAs/5= 53.92008 Tons
Qa = 21.56803 Tons
Qa = 211.3667 Kn

Check against Thrust: Input data:

Tower Thrust = 862 Kn Pedestal length = 0.75 m
Pedestal wt. = 19.82813 Kn Pedestal width = 0.75 m
Pile cap wt. = 78 Kn Pedestal ht = 1.5 m
Single Pile wt. = 32.68666 Kn
Surcharge ht = 1.3 m
Surcharge wt/m= 89 kn
Exact surcharge wt = 115.7 kn
Tower Thrust on single pile= 287.3333 Kn
Total Down Force on Pile = 391.196 Kn < 638 Kn
[OK]
Check against Uplift:
Tower uplift = 852 Kn
Tower uplift on single pile = 284
Total uplift on single pile = 180.1373 Kn < 211.3667 Kn
[OK]
