Scenario Two

B$39$BFB$12$A structure engineer has been given a task of calculating the capacity of piles to support a new propose building project to host offices. The engineering is asked to the calculate ultimate load$-$carrying capacity $($Qu$)$of a $406$ mm diameter$$concrete pile with a length of $30$m embedded in layered, saturated clay. The geotechnical engineer has provided the following soil technical data for the site.
