Please help me solve

Determine the allowable load for a steel closed-ended
pipe pile, 0.4 m in diameter, driven 20 m into the soil
profi le shown in Figure P13.5. Groundwater is at 2 m
below the surface, but you can assume it will rise to
the surface. A factor of safety of 2 is required. Neglect
negative skin friction.

Soft, normally consolidated clay
Su = 15 kPa, y = 18 kN/m3
= 25°
Stiff clay
= 65 kPa, y = 18.5 kN/m3
