In a 16 (4 x4) piles group, the pile diameter is 0.4 m and center to center spacing of piles in the square group is 1.5 m. If C. = 50 kN/m², with neglecting the bearing at the tip of the pile, determine whether the failure would occur as block failure or when the piles act individually. The piles are 12 m long. Take α= 0.7 for shear mobilization around each pile. Also determine the safe load on this group assuming the factor of safety -2.5.
