C. Tip Resistance of Soils

C.1 In Cohesive Soils (AASHTO 4.6.5.1.3)

QT = qT · AT = Nc · SuT · AT

Where: Nc = Bearing capacity factor = 6.0 [ 1 + 0.2( D / BT ) ] £ 9.00

D = Shaft / Pile length or penetration of Shaft / Pile

BT = Tip diameter of shaft / pile

SuT = Undrained shear strength within 2B below shaft tip

AT = Area of shaft / pile tip

Note: If the soil within 2B of the tip has SuT < 24.00 kPa, the value of Nc shall be reduce by one-third.
For drilled shaft in clays with SuT > 96.00 kPa and BT > 1900 mm, and for which shaft settlement
will not be evaluated, the value of qT shall be reduced to qTR as follows:

qTR = qT · Fr £ 3800 kPa

NOTE 1: In cohesive soils, the upper 1.50 meters of the shaft is ignored in estimating QS to account for the
effects of seasonal moisture changes, disturbance during construction, cyclic lateral loadings and
low lateral stresses from freshly placed concrete. The lower 1.0-Diameter length above the shaft tip
is ignored due to the development of tensile cracks in the soil near these region of the shaft and a
corresponding reduction in lateral stress and side resistance.
