A 0.30 m. x 0.30 m. concrete pile 22 m. long is driven in a clayey soil having an unconfined compressive strength of 110 kN/m². The unit weight of clayey soil is 18 kN/m³. Frictional constant is 0.76 due to skin friction. Assume a factor of safety equal to 2.0 and a bearing capacity factor No = 9. Compute the capacity of pile due to skin friction only.
