Teng Method On SAND

1) The document analyzes the foundation of a rigid round pier embedded in granular soil and subjected to vertical, horizontal, and moment loads using the USS/Teng method. 2) It provides input data on pier geometry, soil properties, and loadings and calculates results for granular soil parameters, pier embedment depth and length, end bearing pressure, maximum moment and its location. 3) The analysis is based on references that provide methods for determining the embedment depth and lateral resistance of pole foundations in granular soils.

Results:

Granular Soil Parameters:


φ= 31.00 deg. φ = 28.5+N/4 (angle of internal friction)
Kp = 3.124 Kp = TAN(45+φ/2)^2 (passive soil pressure coefficient)

Pier Embedment and Total Length:


Ho = 93.50 kips Ho = Ph*OLF
Mo = 0.00 ft-kips Mo = (M+Ph*(H+h1+h2))*OLF
Heff = 0.00 ft. Heff = Mo/Ho
L= 13.00 ft. L = solution of cubic equation: L^3-2*Ho*L/(Kp*γ*D)-2*Mo/(Kp*γ*D)=0
Lt = 13.00 ft. Lt = h1+h2+L (total length)

Pier End Bearing Pressure:


Af = 6.83 ft.^2 Af = π*D^2/4 (pier base area)
Wf = 13.33 kips Wf = (Af*Lt)*0.150 (pier weight)
ΣPv = 13.33 kips ΣPv = Pv+Wf (total vertical load)
P(bot) = 1.950 ksf P(bot) = ΣPv/Af

Maximum Moment in Pier and Location:


M(max) = 464.25 ft-kips M(max) = Ho*(Heff+0.54*SQRT(Ho/(γ*D*Kp)))
y= 7.51 ft. y = SQRT(2*Ho/(3*γ*D*Kp)) (below resisting surface)
