A circular pile is to be driven upto a depth of 10 m at a construction site. The average surface area of the pile is 2 m2 per meter length. The soil at the site is homogeneous sand, having effective friction angle of 30°. The ground water table (GWT) is at a depth of 4 m below the ground surface. The unit weights of the soil above and below the GWT are 18 kN/m3 and 20 kN/m3 respectively. Takek = 0.9 and the angle of wall friction (6) = 28°.
