TH$--$P$--2.$ Pile Load Test $--$ You are to use the results of a pile load test given below to determine:

A$.$ The Ultimate Load that could be placed on a $14-$inch diameter $($O$.$D$.)$ steel pipe pile, with $\frac{1}{2}$ in$.$ wall thickness, and with closed end $($same $14-$inch diameter$),$ but not filled with concrete.

The pile was driven $130ft.$ into a medium dense alluvial medium to fine sand deposit.

Use Davisson method to interpret the results and determine both

the $Q_{\text{u}\text{l}\text{t}}$ and the $Q_{\text{a}\text{l}\text{l}}.$

Plot the data on a separate sheet with axes properly labeled.

Use scale for settlement $1-$inch $=0\mathrm{.}5$ in settlement. Use scale for load $1-$inch $=50$ tons.
