A concrete pile 15.24 m long having a cross section of 406 mm x 406 mm is fully embedded in a saturated clay layer for which Ysat = 19.02 kN/m³, = 0, and c, = 76.7 kN/m². Determine the allowable load that the pile can carry. (Let FS = 3.) Use the a method Eq. (12.61) and Table 12.11 to estimate the skin friction and Vesic's method for point load estimation.
