Solved example

The allowable working load on a prestressed concrete pile 21 m

long that has been driven into sand is 502 kN. The pile is
octagonal in shape with D = 356 mm (see Table 11.3a) in the
reference.
Skin resistance carries 350 kN of the allowable load, and point
bearing carries the rest. Determine the settlement of the pile.
Use:
EP = 21 × 106 kN/m2 ES = 25 × 103 kN/m2
μs = 0.35 ξ = 0.62
