Critical Depth Ratio calculation
|
Select Calculate to have the program determine the Critical Depth Ratio or User Input to specify a Critical Depth Ratio in the following field.
|
|
Critical Depth Ratio
|
(User Input only) Soil depth at which vertical stress appears to become constant is known as the Critical Depth. This value is the ratio of critical depth to the pier diameter. Typical range of critical depth ratio lies from 10 to 20.
|
|
| Neglected Soil Resistance Zone |
Neglected soil zone at top at bottom are regions excluded from skin friction calculation.
| Setting | Description |
|---|
|
Neglected Top Soil Layer for Skin Friction
|
For top layer skin friction, typically first five feet are neglected. Additionally, any backfill layer should be neglected for skin friction.
|
|
Neglected Bottom Soil Layer for Skin Friction
|
For bottom layer skin friction, in case of Straight pier profile typically soil layer equal to one pier diameter thickness is neglected and in the case of Belled pier profile, a soil layer equal to sum of bell periphery and pier diameter is neglected.
