please solve the problem Deep Foundations mathbf marks
As part of a residential development, it is required to design several pile foundations. The proposed piling system involves m long steel Hpiles of flange width mm and depth of mm web and flange thickness of mm driven into a clayey soil profile. The top m of the site soil is normally consolidated clay with a unit weight of mathrmkNmathrmm and undrained cohesion equal to kPa ; underlain by a m thick lightly overconsolidated clay layer with a unit weight equal to mathrmkNmathrmm and undrained shear strength equal to kPa ; this is underlain by a very dense sand layer that extends to the end of the available borehole.
a Determine the design axial capacity of this pile considering a factor of safety of marks
b Design a square group of these piles to support a structural load of MN marks
c Considering that the normally consolidated clay has compressibility index, mathrmCc and void ratio, mathrme and the overconsolidated clay has mathrmCmathrmc and mathrme calculate the consolidation settlement using the equivalent raft method. marks
