Consider a 500 mm diameter pile having a length of 18 m in a clay. Given: γ = 20.0 kN/m3 and cu = 60 kN/m2. Determine the maximum allowable load (Qall) with FS = 3. Use the α method and Table 12.11 for determining the skin friction and Eq. (12.20) for determining the point load. Allow a factor of safety of 3. What percentage of the ultimate load is being carried by the pile shaft? Is it a friction pile?
