PLEASE ANSWER CLEARLY SHOWING ALL EQUATIONS AND WORK PLEASE. A 18-m-long pile (400mm by 400mm) extends through loose soil (γ = 16 kN/m3) to dense sand with γ = 18 kN/m3 and φ' of 37°. Estimate the ultimate pile point load (kN) with Meyerhof's method.
Sand layer, excavation depth of 12 m, retaining wall penetrating into the depth of 8 m below the excavation surface, three layers of support (underground depths of 2 m, 6 m, 10 m), and YSP-III steel sheet piles for retaining wall (Ma = 26.2 t‐m/m) (without considering groundwater effects)Using Terzaghi-Peck apparent earth pressure, calculate the support axial force (5 m spacing), the retaining wall bending moment, and calculate the safety factor of the penetration depth *Explain the detailed calculation steps and related assumptions
(a) A 500 mm diameter bored pile is to be designed to support a safe vertical load of 25P kN. Where P = 8. The factor of safety is 2.5 and it is to be applied to the ultimate load. The succession of strata is 2 m of loose fill overlying firm, becoming stiff clay with depth. No side friction is to be allowed in the fill. For the clay the undrained cohesion cu (kPa) = 3z+40, where z is the depth in metres below ground level. %3D Calculate the minimum length of the pile required to support the load. Take a = 0.4, and Nc = 9. %3D (b) A pile weighing 8P kN has been proposed to be driven down into three layers of different materials as shown in Figure Q2, to support a structural load from a proposed building project. Where P = 8. Calculate the number of piles needed to support an ultimate structural load of Qu MN. Where Qu is the last two digits of your students' identification number (SID). For pile in cohesionless soil, assume o = 4'.

Determine the amount of axial shortening that the friction pile undergoes in service. Assume that the surface (or “skin”) friction f (force/lenth2) varies as shown and that E and A are constant.
A circular pile is to be driven upto a depth of 10 m at a construction site. The average surface area of the pile is 2 m2 per meter length. The soil at the site is homogeneous sand, having effective friction angle of 30°. The ground water table (GWT) is at a depth of 4 m below the ground surface. The unit weights of the soil above and below the GWT are 18 kN/m3 and 20 kN/m3 respectively. Takek = 0.9 and the angle of wall friction (6) = 28°. The total axial frictional resistance mobilized on the pile against the driving is %3D kN. (Y = 9.81 kN/m³) %3D
