Question: This problem asks you to apply shear strength values at discrete locations to a pile. Compute the side resistance using the Randolph and Murphy method

This problem asks you to apply shear strength values at discrete locations to a pile.
Compute the side resistance using the Randolph and Murphy method and the tip resistance using a Nc*** value of 9 for the following pile. Then determine the allowable capacity in kips using a factor of safety of 2. The unit weight of the soil is 118pcf.
Show calculation table and sample hand calculation confirm spreadsheet calculations if a spreadsheet is used.
Reduce the side resistance by ignoring the influence of the top 5ft of soil.
