Allowable Design Load on Rock Socket evaluator uses Allowable Design Load on Rock Socket = (pi*Socket Diameter*Socket Length*Allowable Concrete-Rock Bond Stress)+((pi*(Socket Diameter^2)*Allowable Bearing Pressure on Rock)/4) to evaluate the Allowable Design Load on Rock Socket, The Allowable Design Load on Rock Socket formula is defined as the maximum load that can be safely applied to a rock socket in a foundation without causing failure or excessive deformation. A rock socket is a drilled shaft or pile that is embedded into bedrock to transfer loads from a structure to the underlying rock. Allowable Design Load on Rock Socket is denoted by Qd symbol.
