Pile Capacity (Static Method)

Estimated ultimate and allowable static capacity of a pile from soil layers.

What this workbook is

A real, downloadable Microsoft Excel workbook — not a rendered demo. Every sheet is built around a single engineering method: inputs in one place, calculated results and a PASS / WARN / FAIL check sheet, with the method, sources and assumptions recorded next to the numbers. Open it in Excel, Sheets or LibreOffice, change the inputs, and the workbook recalculates.

  • Light cells are user-entered inputs on the Inputs sheet.
  • Dark cells are calculated automatically and are not editable.
  • The method and sources for every calculation are listed below and inside the workbook.

What you enter

  • Pile diameter/length
  • Soil layers (cu / خ± or خ²)
  • Empty sum
  • Factor of safety

What it calculates

  • Shaft capacity
  • End bearing
  • Ultimate load
  • Allowable load

Method

Qu = خ£ (خ±آ·cuآ·A_s) + Ncآ·cuآ·A_b (Tomlinson-type; params user-supplied)
