C) Ultimate Load
Structural Capacity - Axial Bearing Capacity.
Method 1. Based On BS. 5400, Clause 11.3.7,
Ultimate Strength Of Axially Loaded Concrete
Filled Circular Hollow Steel Section.

Pult = 0.91 Ast f'y + 0.45 Ac fcc.

Pult = Ultimate Capacity of Pile
Ast = Area of High Tensile steel bars
fy is a reduced Nominal Yield Strength of Steel Bar, Given by fy = C2fy.
Ac = Nett Grout Area.
fcc is an Enhanced Characteristic of Triaxial Contained Concrete Under Axial Load, Given by
cl and c2 are constant given in Table 12 BS5400.
Single Le/Do Always More than 25, thus, c1 = 0.0 and c2 = 1.0.
Hence, Pult = 0.91 Ast fy + 0.45 Ac fcu.
