1.) A drilled pile is shown in the figure has an allowable load of 3658 kN.

It has a
shaft diameter of 1 m and a bell diameter of 3 m. Using a factor of safety of 3.0,
compute the following. Neglect the weight of the pile for simplification of
solution.
(a) The ultimate end bearing point capacity of the pile.
(b) The required ultimate frictional capacity of the pile.
(c) The estimated length of the pile. Note ( on some parts of the shaft. Also,
neglect the frictional resistance of the bell.)

2.) A 0.30m x 0.30m concrete pile is driven into a clayey soil having a cohesion
equivalent to 55 kPa. The 10 meter pile is placed in the clay soil having a unit
weight of 18 kN/ m3. The factor of safety is equivalent to 3.
(a) Compute the ultimate frictional capacity of the pile using alpha method with
= 0.50.
(b) Compute the ultimate frictional capacity of the pile using lambda method
with = 0.50.
(c) Compute the ultimate frictional capacity of the pile using beta method with
= 0.28.
