Chapter 18, Problem 18.14P

A steel pile (H-section; HP 360 × 1.491; see Table 18.1) is driven into a layer of sandstone The length of the pile is 18.9 m. Following are the properties of the sandstone:

Unconfined compression strength = qu(lab) = 78.7 MN/m2

Angle of friction = 36°

Using a factor of safety of 3, estimate the allowable point load that can be carried by the pile. Use Eq. (18.42).
