Question

Skin friction capacities of a 40 cm diameter driven concrete pile for the portions A, B and C are 17 kN, 63 kN and 503 kN respectively, and point load capacity is $11000kN/m^2$. Total pile load capacity will be

• A. 3743 kN
• B. 2864 kN
• C. 1965 kN
• D. 1529 kN

Answer 1

The correct option is C 1965 kN

Total pile capacity

$=17+63+503+11,000\times \left(\frac{\pi \times {0.4}^2}{4}\right)$

= 1965.3 kN
