Calculation For Bearing Capacity of Pile

This document calculates the bearing capacity of a pile foundation. It provides details of the pile diameter, bedrock depth, soil layers, and calculates the skin friction and end bearing capacities. The total ultimate geotechnical strength is calculated as the sum of the skin friction and end bearing capacities. The design geotechnical strength is then calculated by applying a geotechnical reduction factor.
