Hi, long time haven't post in here,
Right now i'm having a problem of making a decision whether a CSP pile is acceptable or not.
I had a report of a PIT (Pile Intergrity Test) of 13 driven CSP piles condition, the report contains the PIT Graphs and also the summary of BTA value.
From the BTA...
Thank you very much jalthi and fixed earth for your kind reply, well atm, i am the senior engineer in my firm, most of them left and i'm the only one left with no experience and tools, which makes me only rely on spreadsheet calculations.
@Jalthi
actually the Geometric effectivity stands for the pile group efficiency (Eg) which depends on the pattern of the pile, since the i can't use the converse-labbre equation, i use that one from the journal i found.
@Fixed earth
thanks for your suggestions, I'm not very knowledgeable in...
Thank you for replying Jalthi :)
So basically if i find another case with pile group which has irregular pattern like this i can overlook it if the spacing larger than 3 times the diameter right?
And in my current design i use a statement from a journal which says that the basic formula for...

I'm facing a problem in reviewing a foundation for a fuel tank, the foundation is composed of 13 dia.400 m CSP pile, with the circular patterns as i attach below:
the problem is, i can't find the efficiency for circular patterned pile...
