CIVE 3315 Geotechnical Engineering QUESTION 3 (25 marks) Piles generally carry the applied load through skin friction along the pile shaft and the bearing capacity at the pile point. a) Differentiate between skin friction and end bearing piles. Give three (3) examples of the (10) pile respectively and b) Determine ultimate load capacity of 800 mm diameter pile as shown in Figure 3, with a (15) factor of safety of 3. -0.8- : 4m Clay Cu = 60 kN/m² y = 18 kN/m3 G.W.T Sand = 30° y = 20 kN/m 6m = 5m Clay Cu = 100 kN/m2 Y = 20 kN/m Figure 3: Single pile
