| Abstract | Design of the foundation must satisfy the two requirements as to avoid complete failure and limit total relative settlement since these have huge impact on superstructure. Bearing capacity is one of the fundamental elements in designing any foundation especially pile as it has to be seated deep in the soil where the conditions cannot be observed visually. Bearing capacity theory is applied with the consideration in bearing capacity factor Nq based on the two assumptions by Terzaghi and Meyerhof and taken into account for the determination of failure patterns around the pile. Different cases for the presence of friction as homogenous and varying, effect of fan angle and the tip angle are analyzed on the factor Nq. It is found that the bearing capacity factor Nq is influenced in a way that higher friction soil will have lower fan angle as the acuter pile tip or cone angle penetrates steeper and the spreading of fan will take to longer slip since Nq gets greater. |
