Chapter 15, Problem 15.26CTP

Figure 15.53 below shows a cantilever sheet pile driven into a granular soil where the water table is 2 m below the top of the sand. The properties of the sand are: ϕ' = 40°, γm = 17.5 kN/m3, and γsat = 19 kN/m3. It is proposed to excavate to a depth of 6 m below the ground level. Determine the depth to which the sheet pile mast be driven, using the net lateral pressure diagram.

I am looking for the solution for question 9.5, thank you
I am asking for 9.2 to 9.6, thank you
A 600mm diameter pile is embedded in 3 layers of dense sand at a depth of 17m. Nq = 86. The groundwater table is situated between Layers 2 and 3.   The layers have the following properties: Layer 1: γ = 16.9 kN/m3. 3m thick. Layer 2: γ = 17.6 kN/m3. 5.5m thick.  Layer 3: γsat = 19.65 kN/m3.   K is 0.9 and tan α = 0.37. The factor of safety is 3.0. What is the skin friction resistance of the pile in kN? What is the skin friction resistance of the pile in kN? None of the choices 1684.170 1477.156 1257.150 1322.744 866.118 Please answer this asap. For upvote. Thank you very much
