Problem # (21)
One of the exterior columns of a steel frame structure is acted by a vertical force of 10,000
kN, a horizontal force of 2000 kN and a moment of 5000 kN.m. Due to a poor foundation soil; it was
decided to support that column by a pile foundation consisting of a twelve pile group. Piles are
concrete filled steel pipe piles. Allowable axial compressive load on each pile is 2000 kN. It is also
predicted that each pile can also resist a horizontal force of 60 kN. Passive resistance of soil will not
be considered.
Is the selected pile group satisfactory?
Then;
QA = 1137 -2173 = 486 kN/pile
QB = 1137 -2171 = 920 kN/pile
QC = 1137 +2171 = 1354 kN/ple
QD = 1137 +2173 = 1788 kN/pile
Total load = 45483 = 13644
13648
Solution:
Column load = 10,000 kN
Weight of pedestal = 1.5 1.5 2 24 = 108 kN
Weight of pile cap = 5.5 7.5 2 24 = 1,980 kN
Weight of soil = (5.5 7.5 1.5 1.5) 2 20 = 1,560 kN
Total vertical loads = 10,000 + 108 + 1,980 + 1,560 = 13,648 kN
Moment = 5000 + 4 2000 = 13000 kN.m
Horizontal loads = 2000 kN

3. Skin Friction Resistance:
1. Equations:
Qu = Ultimate Pile Capacity.
QP = Load-Capacity of pile point.
Qs = Skin friction resistance.
L = Pile length.

D = Pile dimension.
AP = Area of the pile cross-section.
Qs (2) = p (L
Qs = Qs (1) + Qs (2)
Or, QP = AP q1

Problem # (24):
Estimate the total load that the pile group shown below can carry. Note that; every single
pile is identical to that in problems # (21) and # (22).
Solution:
The unit skin friction is estimated as: f = K v
Where: v

For depth z from 0 to 15 D :
Solution:
Total load that the single pile can carry Q = 844.73 kN (Problem # (21) and # (22))

QT = 844.73 20 = 16894.6 kN
The efficiency of the group:
Qs (2) = P (L
Therefore; the total load that can be carried by the pile group is;
QTG = 16894.6 0.91 = 15374.09 kN.

Problem # (25)
Determine the depth of penetration and the maximum bending moment of a cantilever sheet
pile wall constructed in a three layered soil system as shown below. What should be the required
section modulus of a steel sheet pile if the allowable stress of steel is 150 MPa?
If we assume that
It will be found out that this will occur at a depth of 0.79 m below the dredge line.
At depth (Z) = 6.5 m to (6.5 + X) m
