Question
**Problem Statement:**

Please round to the nearest Hundredth (i.e., 0.01). No Comma!

A square pile, 13 m long, is driven into a homogeneous sand layer. The pile's width (diameter) is 0.5 m. The standard penetration resistance near the vicinity of the pile is 17. Calculate the allowable bearing force (Qa) of the pile. Use FS = 2 and Briaud & Tucker method. Hint: Qa = Qu / FS

**Formula:**

Qa = \_\_\_\_\_\_ kN

*Note: The text mentions the width as diameter, which seems to be an error since it is a square pile.*
