The group pile will be developed without onsite static load tests. The soil conditions are consistent, and the site characterization program was Average. A single pile of that group with a circular shape is shown in the figure below. There are 4 rows of 3 piles with center-to-center spacing of 3 meters in the plan. First, calculate the allowable downward load capacity for a single pile and then find the group efficiency and calculate the allowable downward capacity. (use the table for finding skin friction)
