Basic steel H pile questions
Basic steel H pile questions
(OP)
I'm a structural engineer looking for some basic knowledge on driven steel H piles (having only dealt with concrete CFA and driven timber piles)
1. Is there a simple relationship between Uniaxial Compressive Strength and safe bearing capacity?
2. Is the end bearing capacity based on the cross section area of the steel pile? (if so H piles seem to be at a disadvantage compared to 'solid' piles such as concrete or timber)
3. For H piles I assume the perimeter length for shaft friction would be equal to; 2 x (depth + width), is this correct?
Thanks

Can you give a more complete citation of Chellis's book? I did find both of the Tomlinson books are available in the U.S. Pile Design and Construction is about $280 and Foundation Design and Construction is about $80. I couldn't find anything on Chellis's book.
