INPUT DATA :
Diameter of spun pile, D = 0.35 m
Area of spun pile = 0.0962 m2 SAND SILT CLAY
Perimeter of spun pile = 1.0997 m Ks 2.0 1.7 3.0
Concrete Grade, fcu = 30.00 N/mm2 Kb 400 250 200
Design Working Capasity = 600.00 kN
S.I. Borehole Reference no. = BH-1

MODIFIED MEYERHOF FORMULAE :

where N = average SPT-N value
QU = cumulative [ Ks X N' X (D X 3.142 X Le) ] + Kb N ( D2 X 3.142 ) Ks = skin friction empirical factor
4 Kb = end bearing empirical factor
D = diameter of bored pile (m)
L = pile length (m )

OUTPUT :
Shaft Frictional Resistance, Qs (kN) = 605.30
End Bearing, Qb (kN) = 808.28
Ultimate Bearing Capacity, Qu (kN) = 1413.58
Working Load, P w (kN) = 600.00
Overall Factor of Safety, F.O.S. = 2.36
Recommended pile length, L (m) = 43.50
Bored Length from G.L. (m) = -
