Actually based your 1st comment, I got a idea. I am thinking to find shear strength of soil
S= C + eff. stress * tan(phi).==>Mohr Columb
Based on this, let's find the critical layer below the foundation.
suppose, if clay layer is found to have less shear strength than sand , i can take only c...
Yes , I understand we should go for lower value, currently my SBC is based on Settlement criteria. so , my result wont gets affected in current project. but , i feel something can be done on this shear creteria.
"Currently, I am trying to calculate the SBC (Safe Bearing Capacity) of soil using SPT N-values. To find that, I require the c, φ, and E values of each layer. I have calculated the individual c, φ, and Young's modulus values and then used a weighted average to calculate SBC. The current...
I can understand the behavior of contiguous pile using the mentioned document. I found it very useful.
But actual design example is not mentioned in it, so I have assumed to design the pile asper IS 2911, where I have planned to design as per the following:
Step 1: Calculate the earth pressure...
currently I am trying to learn about designing a contiguous pile, but I could not be able to find any manual / code for designing it in excel. can someone suggest me a proper textbook or previously designed work templates of contiguous pile/ any design codes.
