How deep is the socketing required is pile

Question

Accepted Answer

The depth of socketing required in a pile depends on various factors such as soil conditions, load requirements, and design standards.

Socketing depth is determined based on the type and strength of the soil.
It is also influenced by the load-bearing capacity required for the structure.
Design standards and codes provide guidelines for determining the socketing depth.
For example, in cohesive soils, socketing depth may be specified as a certain percentage of the pile length.
In granular soils, socketing depth may be determined based on the angle of internal friction of the soil.

Accepted Answer
