Abstract
The termination depth of bored cast in situ piles poses serious problem to the field engineers particularly on weak weathered rock, stiff clays and dense sands. Some sort of decision making tool is available for driven piles in the form of driving formulae. The first part of paper deals with a simple method based on penetration resistance to the advancement of bore and its relation with end bearing and frictional resistance offered by formation. The second and third parts of paper deal with a newly conceived dynamic method for ascertaining the safe load on pile and its comparison with the safe load value derived from penetration resistance actually observed. The dynamic test proposed is simpler, quicker cost effective and shall be an excellent quality assurance tool for the bored cast-in-situ piles.
