This document describes how to calculate or determine the bored pile or drilled shaft capacity using Mathcad Program. This would be useful for Enginee...
Preferred Safety Factor: F := 2.5 s Ultimate Bearing Capacity of P ile:
Qult := Qs
Allowable Bearing Capacity of Pile: Q := all
Drilled Shaft Capacity Calculation

IMPORTANT NOTES :
z = The c oordinate axis along the depth direction (m) L` = Critical depth = 15D K = Coefficient of lateral earth pressure #`v = Vertical effective stress at the depth under consideration (kPa) ! = Frictional angle between soil and pile material = (3/4)"` "` = Angle of internal friction of soil before installing pile (deg)
Lsand(i) = Thickness of t he ith sand layer (m) p = The perimeter of pile (m)
