Universal Bearing Pile design
Universal Bearing Pile design
(OP)
Hi,
I am trying to design some universal bearing piles which will be around 1m below ground level and approx 5m long.
I was wondering what the procedure is to designing them with regard to British Standards?
Do i just treat it as a UC section and analyse it the same way?
The concept is that a ground beam sits on top of the bearing pile and on top of this is an upstand.
Hope you can help
Thanks!

And since my wording about plastic limit states sounds extremely optimistic and close to one limit states design (that may be warranted for some hypotheses), pile design is usually made at service level, and be sure the limit stresses allowed for the particular cases for axial (or longitudinal stresses) are respected. These are well below one LRFD estimate, even after retiring the safety factor.
