63.A timber pile of length 8m and diameter of 0.2m is driven with a 20 kN drop hammer, falling freely from a height of 1.5m. The total penetration of the pile in the last 5 blows is 40 mm. Use the engineering news record expression. Assume a factor of safety of 6 and empirical factor (allowing reducing in the theoretical set, due to energy losses) of 2.5 cm. The safe load carrying capacity of the pile
