A driven pipe pile with an outside diameter of 450mm and a wall thickness of 7mm, 18 m long, is proposed to support columns of a large multi-storey apartment building. The water table is located at a depth of 5m below the ground surface. The soil properties are given in Table below. Depth (m) Soil Type 0-10m 10+ Silty Clay Clay Undrained Friction Cohesion angle (kPa) 30 100 0 0 Saturated Unit Weight kN/m³ 18.0 19.6 Bulk Unit weight kN/m³ 17.2 17 Using the applicable method (a or 3 method) a) Calculate the end bearing capacity b) Calculate the skin resistance c) Estimate the net allowable pile capacity (FS=2) d) Based on your calculations state whether this pile is a 'friction pile' or an 'end bearing pile'.
