The document appears to be calculating the design interface transfer stresses and bond strength of a grouted pile connection under operational and survival load conditions.

The design interface transfer stresses for operational and survival load conditions are being calculated based on parameters like pile diameter, thickness, length, load etc.

A number of parameters like Ds/Ts ratio, Dp/Tp ratio, Dg/Tg ratio, shear key geometry, bond strength etc. are being checked against specified limits.

NOTE : 1. The method of this calculation is based on HSE: "Offshore Technology Report 2001/016,
Pile/Sleeve Connections", 2002.

2. Geometries with D/t below the lower bound may conservatively be designed using the lower bound
D/t values in the calculations. Not valid for Helical shear keys
