A 30-m-long concrete pile is 305 mm x 305 mm in cross section and is fully embedded in a sand deposit. If nh = 9200 kN/m2, the moment at ground level, Mg = 0, the allowable displacement of pile head = 12 mm; Ep = 21 x 106 kN/m2; and FY (pile) = 21,000 kN/m2, calculate the allowable lateral load, Qg, at the ground level. Use the elastic solution method.
