A pile with a square cross-section, B × B = 0.5 m × 0.5 m, is driven in a clay soil which has anundrained strength of 40 kPa at the ground surface, increasing thereafter by 3 kPa per meterdepth.(a) Determine the required length of an individual pile which is supposed to take a load of500 kN on its top. Assume the factor of safety of 1.5 for both side shear and base resistance.The side shear on the pile may be taken as 55% of the soil's undrained strength.

Answered: A pile with a square cross-section, B ×…
