Chapter 5, Problem 5.10QPP

A timber pile 400 mm in diameter is subjected to the following axial compressive loads: dead =600 kN, live=250 kN, earthquake = 200 kN . If the allowable compressive stress in the pile using ASD methods is 8.28 MPa, is this pile adequate?

i) How do the soil stress states and strain states change by the installation and structural loads? ii) Is the analysis of the load capacity of a pile is exact or is it an approximation? please tell this is in brief. please reply quickly.
A precast concrete pile of size 30 x 30 is driven by a 300 kg drop hammer with a height of fall of 1.5 m. The allowable pile load is 2000 kg. Considering a factor of safety 6 what is the final set per blow using Engineering News Formula
a 15-meter precast concrete pile is to be lifted. if the unit weight of concrete is 23.54 kN/m3. And the section of the pile measures 400 mm by 400 mm.
