dark brown dark gray decompossed WOOD
(OP)
Dear geos,
I would appreciate your opinion. I am currently busy with a pile foundation (steel open tubular piles) and I am reading on the bor logs, "dark brown, dark gray decompossed WOOD" with a SPT values of 20, 31 and 34. Thickness of the layer is 5.0m on a depth of -27.0m CD.
I was thiking of simulating it as a clay material on my API pile capacity curves but how correct that would be with respect to the shaft friction and end bearing? Same question for the p-y curves of such a layer.
Should it be recommended to go through the entire layer and found my pile on the sand layer beneath?
Thanks

Is there a possibility that perhaps the boring went down the trunk of an old tree. Do your other borings show the same layer?
