Subject: Piles in Calcerous Sand
 
Author: M. Z. Ahmed 2001-08-25  
     
  We have a project where H piles will be driven through a deposit of 7m thick calcerous sand. This material is found between 3 to 10m depth below the grade. I would like to know about the following:

1) Effect of driving through calcareous sands on skin friction.
2) Driving resistance.
3) Set up factor.
4) In the calculation of skin friction whether the k(lateral earth pressure) and f(coefficient of friction) values shall be reduced.

Regards,
AHMED

  If there is anyone out there who's been asleep for a couple of years, be advised that the posting from Nigeria in reply to this subject is an example of a well known confidence trick. This sort of message has been sent out, with minor variations in style, by post, fax, or email from Nigeria to various businesses. Sounds too good to be true and of course, it is. Many people have lost money to these criminals. It has been reported that some people have been lured out to Nigeria with 'enabling' money and been assaulted or murdered in the course of being robbed.
