Quasi Constant Value for Piles in Sands Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Quasi Constant Value = 0.5*Bearing Capacity Factor*tan(Angle of Internal Friction of Soil)
q_l = 0.5*N_q*tan(Φ_i)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

tan - The tangent of an angle is a trigonometric ratio of the length of the side opposite an angle to the length of the side adjacent to an angle in a right triangle., tan(Angle)

Variables Used

Quasi Constant Value - Quasi Constant Value is reached after penetrations of the bearing stratum in the range of 10 to 20 pile diameters.
Bearing Capacity Factor - Bearing Capacity Factor is a dimensionless coefficient used in geotechnical engineering to determine the bearing capacity of soil under a foundation.
Angle of Internal Friction of Soil - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Internal Friction of Soil is a measure of the shear strength of soil due to friction.

What is Friction Angle of Bearing Soils?

Soil Friction angle is a shear strength parameter of soils. Its definition is derived from the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion, and it is used to describe the friction shear resistance of soils together with the normal effective stress.

How to Calculate Quasi Constant Value for Piles in Sands?

Quasi Constant Value for Piles in Sands calculator uses Quasi Constant Value = 0.5*Bearing Capacity Factor*tan(Angle of Internal Friction of Soil) to calculate the Quasi Constant Value, The Quasi Constant Value for Piles in Sands formula is defined as the ultimate shaft resistance of piles driven into sandy soils. This value represents a somewhat consistent resistance that the pile shaft experiences during driving, particularly in cohesion less soils like sands. Quasi Constant Value is denoted by q_l symbol.
