    This problem involves calculating: 1) The capacity of a single timber pile, which is 685.96kN. 2) The capacity of a pile group of 10,000 piles, which is 6,859MN but only provides 1,208MN of support which is less than needed. 3) The settlement of a 75m x 75m hospital mat foundation resting on clay layer 2, which is calculated to be 240.0 kN/m^2 using a pressure-bulb chart and soil properties.

    Soil properties (clay 1: Cc=0.1, Su=20kN/m2 / clay 2: Cc=0.06, Su = 30kN/m2 )

    a. the capacity of one timber pile

    Qu = Q f ( clay1) + Q f ( sand) + Q p ( sand) = aS u As1 + 5 N 0.7 As 2 + 1,000 N Ap


    p 0.32
    = 1 20kN / m 2 (0.3p 14.5m) + 5 30 0.7 (0.3p 0.5m) + 1,000 30

    = 685.96kN

    Qsafe = u = 228.65kN

    b. the capacity of the pile group

    (1) Qgroup = nQs ingle = 10,000 685.96 = 6,859MN


    (2) Qgroup = Q p (block,clay2) + Q f (block,clay1) + Q f (block,sand) = N c Su Ap + aSu A f + 5 N 0.7 A f

    = ( 6.6 30kN / m 2 752 ) + (1 20kN / m 2 4 75 14.5) + (5 300.7 4 75 0.5)


    = 1,208MN

    This is less than the weight of the building (1,500MN) = big problem.

    (3) Qsafe(group) = 1,208MN/3 = 402.67MN

    c. the settlement of the hospital

    The settlement is calculated by considering the settlement of a 75m by 75m mat

    resting on top of the clay 2 layer as being equivalent to the settlement of the hospital.
