A circular pile having a diameter of 0.33 m is 14.21 m long which is embedded in a layer of dense compacted sand having the given properties. Soil properties: Lateral pressure factor, K = 3.53 Nq = 99 Specific gravity, Gs= 2.61 Void ratio, e =1.21 Saturation above the GWT = 0.41 Ground water table (GWT) is located 3.58 m below the ground. Use unit weight of water = 9.81 kN/m3 Coefficient of friction = 0.41 Factor of safety = 3.98 Calculate the allowable capacity of the pile in kN.
