Shaft Resistance using Allowable Load and Safety Factor Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Shaft Resistance = (Factor of Safety in Pile Foundation*Allowable Load)-Toe Resistance
Q _su = (F_s*P_allow)-Q _bu
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Shaft Resistance - (Measured in Newton) - Shaft Resistance is the load-bearing capacity of deep foundations such as piles or drilled shafts, derived from the frictional resistance along the sides of the shaft.
Factor of Safety in Pile Foundation - Factor of Safety in Pile Foundation is the ratio of the ultimate capacity of the pile to the working load (the load the pile is designed to carry safely).
Allowable Load - (Measured in Newton) - Allowable Load is the maximum working load that can be applied on the structure.
Toe Resistance - (Measured in Newton) - Toe Resistance is the capacity of the soil at the base or toe of a structure (such as a retaining wall, foundation, or slope) to resist sliding or overturning.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Factor of Safety in Pile Foundation: 2.8 --> No Conversion Required
Allowable Load: 10 Kilonewton --> 10000 Newton (Check conversion here)
Toe Resistance: 10.23 Kilonewton --> 10230 Newton (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Q _su = (F_s*P_allow)-Q _bu --> (2.8*10000)-10230

Evaluating ... ...

Q _su = 17770

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

17770 Newton -->17.77 Kilonewton (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

17.77 Kilonewton <-- Shaft Resistance

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
