Please answer 11.25

 

(Answer)

4362kN

11.25 The section of a 4 X 4 group pile in a layered saturated clay is shown in Figure P11.25.
The piles are square in cross section (356 mm X 356 mm). The center-to-center
spacing (d) of the piles is 1 m. Determine the allowable load-bearing capacity of the
pile group. Use FS = 3.
