A 11-in. square concrete pile is driven into a clay deposit as shown in the figure below. The unit weight of the clay soil is 100 lb/ft3. The embedded length of the pile is 40 ft. Determine the pile's design capacity (kips), using a factor of safety of 2. HINT: from Figure 10-7, with c = 1 kip/ft², a=0.83. Design = ? 40 ft Clay 9,- 2000 lb/m² → B, square Round your answer to ONE decimal place
