Question: 1 2 . 3 A 5 0 0 m m diameter and 2 0 m long concrete pile is driven into a sand where =

12.3 A 500mm diameter and 20m long concrete pile is driven into a sand where =18.5kNm3 and '=32. Assuming '=0.7' and K=1.5Ko, determine the loadcarrying capacity of the pile, with a factor of safety of 3. Use Meyerhof's method [Eq.(12.18)] for computing the point load-carrying capacity Qp, and use Eqs. (12.42) and (12.43) for computing the load-carrying capacity of the pile shaft Qs.
12.4 Redo Problem 12.3 using Coyle and Castello's methods for estimating both Qp and Qs.
