Excellent!
It's a good solution for modelling the pile as support.
I ever use the 0.25*fc*Apile, but I calculate the settlement of the pile ever, evaluating the effective stress and deformation along the pile (so long and so boring). But the suggestion is equate to the formula: the maximun allowable settlement for a pile must be between 0.0075*d and 0.016*d (d is the pile diameter). The 0.01*d is a very good aproximation I think and a good sollution...
Where you found this information Aslam?... Is very good
Thanks a lot
