From "Figure 9.29" , using "D/b = 10.37 and e_c/D = 1.00" , the dimensionless load factor "Qu/Kp*γ*b^3"
for a Short pile in "Cohesionless Soil" is determined as follows.

From "Figure 9.30" , using "My/γ*Kp*b^4 = 80.19 and e_c/b = 10.37" , the dimensionless load factor
"Qu/Kp*γ*b^3" for a Long pile in "Cohesionless Soil" is determined as follows.

The design capacity for the "Free Headed" "Intermediate Pile" embedded in "Cohesionless Soil" shall be
"the smaller of the two capacities calculated above" . Thus, we have,
