20 A rectangular pile (0.75 x 0.93 m.) is driven in a clayey soil arrangement composed of two different layers. First layer has a height of 5 m., cohesion of 53 kPa, friction factor of 0.88. Second layer has a height of 8 m., cohesion of 78 kPa, and friction factor of 0.84. Compute the allowable load that the pile can carry if the factor of safety is 2.17. Round off to two decimal places.
