Check of Pile Capacity
Check of Pile Capacity
compression pile capacity is checked under extreme load cases from SAFE model OCE-PAC-S4-03-
007-OCZ-B1-S2-ST-000012 which consider only 60% of the minimum sea level and full dead and
live loads plus wind or seismic loads.
The soil springs are included in the model with a condition that its contribution is less than the
capacity stated in the soil report (100 kn/m2)
The results show that all piles match the soil report capacity except two pile which their safety
factor is reduced from 3 to 2.73 and 2.83. This safety factor is accepted as the surrounding piles not
reaching the ultimate capacity. local failure will not occur once one pile inside a group has safety
factor 2.73.
