Depth of Piles: Dia of Pile 760 Dia of Pile 0.76

The document provides calculations to determine the depth and number of piles needed to support structures. It calculates the depth of an individual pile with a diameter of 0.76m to be 8.41m based on the soil's bearing capacity of 9.96 ton/m^2, and specifies a factored depth of 20m for safety. It then calculates that 8 piles can support a total load of 1495.426 tons for an abutment, and 6 piles can support 1120.204 tons for a pier, with each pile supporting around 186-187 tons.
