Suppose that a 10-in x 11-in rectangular prestressed concrete pile is to be driven 160 ft into a uniform deposit of clay, having an unconfined compressive strength qu of 458 psf and a unit weight of 117 pcf. What is the total capacity of the pile? Assume that the clay properties are exactly average for typical clay soils. Report your answer in kips to the nearest whole number. Do not include the units in your answer.
