A 2-ft-diameter close-ended steel pipe pile is to be driven to a depth of 60 ft into the following soil profile. Xfrom (ft) Xto (ft) Type y (pcf) su (psf) 25 CL 110 700 25 45 CL 124 1800 45 60 CL 129 3200 Note: "CL" is lean clay. The groundwater table is at a depth of 5 ft. (a) Sketch the pile and soil profile with the corresponding information labeled. (b) Using the Randolph and Murphy method, determine the side frictional capacity of each segment, calculate the total side frictional capacity (c) Calculate the toe bearing capacity (d) Calculate the total bearing capacity of the pile (e) Is the pile a frictional pile, a toe-bearing pile or something else? (f) Use a factor of safety of 2.5, compute ASD lowable load Pa.
