An 80 ton compressive load is to be imposed on the square

An 80 ton compressive load is to be imposed on the square 1.5 x 1.5 ft, 39 ft long timber pile shown. The net toe- bearing and unit side-friction resistances are shown. Compute the downward load capacity using a Factor of Safety of 2 and determine if the design is acceptable. 5 ft 28 ft 6 ft Clay fs = 500 psf Clay fs = 800 psf Glacial Till qt' = 84.0 ksf fs = 5.0 ksf
