Question

The section of a 3 x 4 group pile in a layered saturated clay is shown in the figure below. The piles are square in cross section (356 mm x 356 mm). The center-to-center spacing, d, of the piles is 889 mm. Determine the allowable load-bearing capacity of the pile group. Use FS = 4. Note that the groundwater table coincides with the ground surface.
