A circular pile with a diameter of 400 mm was driven to a depth of 12 meters into the normally consolidated soft clay. Undrained shear strength su = 30 kPa, with critical shear angle equal to effective shear angle g'cs = 0'= 30°, Ysat = 18 kN/m3 , volume weight of water Ywater = 9.8 kN/m3. The groundwater level coincides with the ground surface (pillar head). Calculate the bearing capacity of the pile if the factor of safety = 3 using the a and B methods.
