The settlement of pile caused by the load at pile point
[Se(2)]
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=0.356 m and Ap= 0.1045 m2,
and perimeter (p)= 1.168m. Skin resistance
carries 350 kN of the allowable load and point
bearing carries the rest. Use Ep=21x106
kN/m2, Es=25x103 kN/m2 µs=0.35 and ξ=0.62.
Determine the elastic settlement of the pile.
