Refer to Figure 11.26b. For the drilled shaft with bell, given:Thickness of active zone, Z = 9 mDead load = 1500 kN Live load = 300 kNDiameter of the shaft, Ds = 1 mZero swell pressure for the clay in the active zone = 600 kN/m2Average angle of plinth-soil friction, Φ'ps = 20°Average undrained cohesion of the clay around the bell = 150 kN/m2. Determine the diameter of the bell, Db. A factor of safety of 3 against uplift is required with the assumption that dead load plus live load is equal to zero.
Figure P10.7 shows a drilled shaft without a bell. Assume the following values:L1 = 6 m cu(1) = 50 kN/m2L2 = 7 m cu(2) = 75 kN/m2Ds = 1.5 mDetermine:a. The net ultimate point bearing capacity [use Eqs. (10.33) and (10.34)]b. The ultimate skin friction [use Eqs. (10.37) and (10.39)]c. The working load Qw (factor of safety = 3)

- For the drilled shaft described in Problem 19.7, estimate the total elastic settlement at working load. Use Eqs. (18.45), (18.47), and (18.48). Assume that Ep = 20 106 kN/m2, s = 0.3, Es = 12 103 kN/m2, = 0.65 and Cp = 0.03. Assume 80% mobilization of skin resistance at working load. (See Part c of Problem 19.7) 19.7 Figure 19.16 shows a drilled shaft without a bell. Here, L1 = 6 m, L2 = 7 m, Ds = 1.5 m, cu(1) = 50 kN/m2, and cu(2) = 75 kN/m2. Find these values: a. The net ultimate point bearing capacity. Use Eqs. (19.23) and (19.24) b. The ultimate skin resistance. Use Eqs. (19.26) and (19.28) c. The working load, Qw (FS = 3) FIG. 19.16arrow_forwardA drilled shaft designed in accordance with the AASHTO code must support the following downward and uplift axial design loads: P = 850 k, Pup. = 270 k. The soil profile consists of: Undrained Shear Strength, s,, (lb/ft²) Depth (ft) Soil Description Unit Weight, y (lb/ft³) N60 0-15 Clayey silt 115 1200 15-35 Silty clay 112 1800 35-55 Sandy silt (nonplastic) 115 24 55-80 Silty sand 124 43 Practice Problems 597 The groundwater is at a depth of 50 ft. Using the AASHTO resistance factors, select a diameter and depth for a single drilled shaft to support these design loads. Use a load factor of 0.9 on the weight of the shaft. Note there are many different diameter-length combinations that would be satisfactory, but select one that you think would be most appropriate.arrow_forwardA drilled shaft is constructed in a uniform clay layer of 40 ft. and tipped in a uniform, dense sand layer with N60 of 30. The drilled shaft has a diameter of 3 ft. and embedded length is 40 ft. Assume a total unit weight of 125 pcf for clay and 120 pcf for sand. The water table is at a depth of 15-ft. The unit weight of clay below water table is 125 pcf as well. The clay layer has undrained shear strength of 2 ksf. Assume depth of zone of seasonal moisture change to be 5-ft. Find the ultimate load capacity of the drilled shaft. Use alpha method for clay and beta method for sand.

Determine the load-carrying capacity of the drilled shaft with FS = 3. Take / as 0.8 for the sand.arrow_forwardAn 8 in diameter drilled shaft will penetrate through an expansive stiff clay to a depth well below the active zone. It will carry a downward load of 5,200 lb. The undrained shear strength of the clay is 900 psf and the active zone extends to a depth of 10 ft. Determine the following:a. What is the uplift skin friction load?b. Is a tensile failure in the shaft possible (do not forget to consider the weight of the shaft)?c. What is the required reinforcing steel to prevent a tensile failure (if necessary)?
