Question: A circular, concrete pile with a diameter D = 1 . 0 m is to be constructed within a medium density sand. Geotechnical investigation revealed

A circular, concrete pile with a diameter D=1.0m is to be constructed within a medium density sand. Geotechnical investigation revealed that the sand has a friction angle equal to 30, a void
ratio e=0.61 and a specific gravity Gs=2.65. Moreover, it was revealed that a water table exists at a depth of 3m from the surface of the ground. Calculate the required length of the pile for a working load at the top of the pile equal to Q=800kN. Assume a reasonable safety factor value
and concrete unit weight yc=24.0
