PROBLEM 2: A circular pile 0.45m in diameter and
15m long is embedded in a layer of dense sand. The
soil has the following properties: Dry unit eight is 18
kN/m3 and saturated unit weight is 21 kN/m³ (water
table is 4m below from the ground surface), Nq=85,
k=1.25, tan a = 0.45 and FS=2.5
a) Calculate the end bearing capacity
b) Calculate the frictional resistance
c) Calculate the allowable load
