Question

A total elastic settlement of 0.018m was calculated for a square pile 1.6m in dimension.

Find the length of the pile if the following is given:

Load carried by pile point is 70% of load carried by pile shaft.

Settlement of pile caused by load at pile tip is 0.00369

While settlement of pile caused by shaft skin is 0.00581

Ep = 90000KN/m2 ,

Es = 30000KN/m2,

µs = 0.5, ξ=0.67
