Three cast-in-place piles with a diameter of 480mm are installed under a certain platform, the pile length is 10.5m, and the soil layer on the side of the pile is: sludge, 6m thick, qsia=7kPa; silt, 2.5m thick, qsia =28kPa; clay, very thick (the pile end enters the layer 2m), qsia=35kPa, qpa=1800kPa. Try to calculate the characteristic value of the vertical bearing capacity of the single pile.

Three cast-in-place piles with a diameter of 480mm are
installed under a certain platform, the pile length is 10.5m,
and the soil layer on the side of the pile is: sludge, 6m thick,
qsia=7kPa; silt, 2.5m thick, qsia
=28kPa; clay, very thick (the
pile end enters the layer 2m), qsia=35kPa, qpa=1800kPa. Try to
calculate the characteristic value of the vertical bearing
capacity of the single pile.
