Question: Pile Capacity If a 0 . 3 - m diameter 1 2 - m long steel tubular pile is driven in a mainly clayey deposit.

Pile Capacity
If a 0.3-m diameter 12-m long steel tubular pile is driven in a mainly clayey deposit. Given the CPT sounding shown below, use the simplified values as follows:
0-2.5 m, sand, q=8,000kPa,
2.5-11m, clay, q=200kPa
11-13.5 m, sand, q=20,000kPa (to be treated as average for tip resistance) Calculate the shaft resistance and tip resistance of this pile using the CPT method.
