Décourt-Quaresma Method
Total pile resistance is given by:
where: | Rc | - | total pile resistance |
Rb | - | pile base resistance | |
Rs | - | pile shaft resistance |
The pile base resistance:
where: | α | - | |
Kdq | - | ||
N | - | avarage value of SPT blow counts at the pile base level | |
Ab | - | base area |
The pile shaft resistance:
where: | βi | - | pile shaft coefficient at ith layer |
Ni | - | avarage value of SPT blow counts at ith layer | |
As,i | - | shaft area at ith layer |
