Ultimate Tip Load for Piles Installed in Cohesive Soils Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Ultimate Point Load = Base Area of Pile*Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Cohesion*Undrained Strength in Shear
Q_b = A_b*N_c*C_u
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Ultimate Point Load - (Measured in Newton) - Ultimate Point Load is the product of end-bearing area of pile and bearing capacity of soil.
Base Area of Pile - (Measured in Square Meter) - Base Area of Pile is the area of the pile end that bears the load.
Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Cohesion - Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Cohesion is a constant whose value depends upon the cohesion of soil.
Undrained Strength in Shear - (Measured in Pascal) - Undrained Strength in Shear is defined as the peak value of the horizontal shear stress.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Base Area of Pile: 7.39 Square Meter --> 7.39 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Cohesion: 9 --> No Conversion Required
Undrained Strength in Shear: 12 Pascal --> 12 Pascal No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Q_b = A_b*N_c*C_u --> 7.39*9*12

Evaluating ... ...

Q_b = 798.12

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

798.12 Newton --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

798.12 Newton <-- Ultimate Point Load
