3 1] When Piles are installed in SANDY CLAY, which are predominantly Cohesive in character the Skin friction and end bearing resistance should be calculated assuming Φ =0 2] When Pile is installed in CLAYEY SAND where the Cohesion is relatively small, the carrying capacity shall be calculated assuming C = 0 3] In SANDY CLAY or SANDY SILTS and SILTY or CLAYEY SANDS, which possess appreciable cohesion and frictional components, can be termed as C - Φ soil, and the ultimate capacity can be estimated using equation below.

Granular Soil ULTIMATE POINT RESISTANCE (General Approach) The ultimate point resistance does not necessarly increase with depth, and vertical effective stress is not equal to the effective overburdon pressure but reaches a limiting value Zc. The ratio Zc/D , falling in the range of 5 to 20 is given in Fig. 03 There is a wide variation in the values recomented for Nq as showen in Fig. 05. Nq value established by Berezantsev (1961) confirm to practical criteria of Pile faliure. For values of Nq, the graph provided in IS 2911 is adopted which is based on Berezantsev's curve up to 35 degree and Vesic's curve beyond 35 degree, as shown in Fig. 04. ULTIMATE SKIN FRICTION The value of skin friction coefficient is influenced by many factors; including angle of internal friction, method of instalation, pile material, shape etc. For bore pile in which bore holes are stablised by bentonite this value may be estimated assuming K δ = 1
Cohesive Soil ULTIMATE POINT RESISTANCE (General Approach) The value of Nc used in the design is as that proposed by Skempton (1961). For circular area, the value increases from 6.14 to a limiting value of 9 for depths greater than 4 times diameter.The values are shown in table No. 01 PILE - SOIL ADHESION The pile - soil adhesion depends on various factors. For simplicity, Ca has been related to undrained cohesion Cu of soil. The ratio Ca / Cu is termed as adhesion factor. The adhesion factor is taken as shown in Figure No. 01.The Australian Code AS 2159 provides higher values of adhesion factor, while Dr.NV Nayak propose adhesion factor as 1 for bored cast in situ RCC piles in all clay of any consistency. Two values for adhesion factor are drawn in the graph. The lower value is as given in Ref. Book by Dr. NV Nayak, (p.No.166). The Higher values as per Australian Code. By entering "L" or "H" appropriate value for adhesion factor can be selected.
