1808.3.4 Allowable Uplift Load

NYC Building Code 2014 > 18 Soils and Foundations > 1808 Deep Foundations > 1808.3 Allowable Pile Loads > 1808.3.4 Allowable Uplift Load
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
Where required by the design, the allowable uplift load for a single pile shall be determined in accordance with accepted engineering practices based on a minimum factor of safety of three or by uplift load tests performed in accordance with Section 1808.4.2.1. Where uplift load tests are performed, the maximum allowable uplift load shall not exceed the ultimate load capacity divided by a factor of safety of two. The allowable uplift load for a pile group shall not exceed the sum of the allowable uplift loads of the individual piles in the group, nor the uplift capacity calculating the group action of the pile in accordance with accepted engineering practice where the calculated ultimate group capacity is divided by a safety factor of 2.5.
