A group of piles as shown on the figure has a cross section of 0.30 m x 0.30 m. It has a total length of 15 m. The piles are embedded in a homogeneous saturated clay with Cu = 70 kPa. Unit weight of clay is 18.8 kN/m³ and the ground water table is located at a depth of 18 m. below the ground surface. Factor of safety = 4. Compute the allowable load- bearing capacity of the group of pile acting as individual piles. Qll Clay Cu70 Pa .70 15m 56 m- L-2.74 m -Lz=3,96– Ans. 2816.10 kN
