Econ = Ko+0.2fcu
= 20+0.2(35)
= 27GPa
Erock / qu = 200 (conservatively)
Erock = 200*20MPa
= 4000MPa= 4GPa
Econ/Erock = 27/4 = 6.75

All. Rock End Bearing Capacity, qa
= Ksp*qu (Canadian Foundation Engineering Manual)
= 0.1*20MPa
= 2000kPa qu=20MPa
Force, Fb = 2000*(p*1.52/4)
= 3534kN
Ft = 15,000kN
Fb = 3534kN Fb/Ft = 24%
From graph,
dr/ro = 2.3
ro = 1.5/2 = 0.75
Min rock socket required, dr = 1.73m
Ep/Er=6.75
dr/ro=2.3
Ep/Er=6.75
dr/ro=2.3
From graph,
Fb/Ft = 16%
Load taken by shaft friction
= (100-16%)*15,000kN = 12,600kN
