Question: Consider precast concrete driven piles to support a column load of 5 0 0 kips ( 3 5 0 dead load + 1 5 0

Consider precast concrete driven piles to support a column load of 500 kips (350 dead load +150 live load) at the ground surface. The soil conditions and the proposed pile are shown in the figure below. Piles are 36.0 ft in length and 1.25 ft in diameter. Estimate the following:
- The geotechnical capacity of the individual pile.
- The structural capacity of the individual pile. Use compressive strength of 4 ksi for the concrete.
- The number of piles required to support the column. Use load factors of 1.2 for dead load and 1.6 for live load. Use resistance factors of 0.30 for both end bearing and skin friction.
- The geotechnical capacity of the pile group. Use spacings of 3 times the pile diameter. Verify the adequacy of the group capacity.
- The immediate settlements of the individual pile and the pile group.
- The long-term settlement of the silty clay layer.
