1) Ultimate Bearing Capacity of Pile
Base resistance compression Qu = Ap*(0.5*B*γ*Nγ+PD*Nq) + K * PD * tanδ * As
where, Qu = Ultimate load carrying capacity of pile in granular soil
Ap = Cross-sectional area of pile tip in m2
B = Diameter of the pile
γ = Effective unit weight of the soil at pile tip, in KN/m3
Nγ = Bearing capacity factor
Nq = Bearing capacity factor
PD = Effective overburden pressure at pile tip, in KN/m2
K = Coefficient of earth pressure
δ = Angle of wall friction between pile & soil
As = Surface area of pile in m2
Qu = 29.56 KN

Side skin friction
Qs = = (2/3)*K * PD * tanδ * As
Where K = Coefficient of earth pressure
PD = Effective overburden pressure at pile tip, in KN/m2
δ = Angle of wall friction between pile & soil
As = Surface area of pile in m2
Qs = 14.21 KN............(A)
Self weight of pile W = 3.53 KN............(B)
Load carrying capacity of Pile in tension with FOS 2.0 (A/2 + B) = 10.64 KN

2) Ultimate Lateral resistance for cohesionless soil

Ultimate lateral resistance of pile in cohesionless soil = 0.5 * B * L1^3 * Kp * γ / (e + L1)
