Driven pile radial stress
Driven pile radial stress
(OP)
Hi all,
Mechanical engineer here with a civil engineering question. I'm assessing a tube (CHS) which is being driven into a silty sand or sludge type material and need to determine the radial stress/pressure acting normal to the surface of the tube. I've determined the pile toe and surface resistance but cannot seem to find an equation to describe the radial pressure. Is there a simple analytical expression for this?
Many thanks.

RE: Driven pile radial stress
P = m.g.h
Where
m = mass per unit area
g = gravitational constant
h = height of pile under the sand
