A closed end precast concrete pile with a diameter (Dp) of 0.5 m is driven into a uniform sand deposit. The sand has a saturated unit weight, Ysat, of 17 kN/m² and a drained friction angle o' of 35°. Groundwater table is at the ground surface. Determine qp for the pile when the toe is driven to 4 m(L1), and 5 m(L2) below ground surface.
