For a designed load of 100 KN, the estimated depth is 16.5m.
Note : 1. The clay skin friction for the top soil layer is assume to be 7.5kN/m2
2. The pile is designed as floating pile where the pile would settle together with the soil and therefore there
is no effective negetive skin friction.
3. The final depth of piles penetration shall be decided on site by load test.
