Pile Diameter, f = 600 mm
Grade, fcu 35 cement grout (w/c ratio = 0.45)
Use API Pipe, f 88.9 mm 6.45 mm thk
fy = 500 N/mm2 (min)
Area of Steel & Concrete
As (provided) = 2prt
As = 1670.7068 mm2
Ac = p*d2/4
Ac = 282780 mm2
Ultimate Axial Load,
fu = 0.4fcu*Ac + 0.75fy*As
fu = 4585435.1 N
fu = 4585.43506 kN
Taking Factor of Safety (FoS) = 2
fall = fu/FoS
fall = 2292.7 kN
Based on the structural capacity above, the micropile is able to take the given working load
of 2292.7 kN
