(b) For the soil profile given below, calculate the required depth of a single 300 mm square concrete pile driven into the soil to carry a 100 kN safe load with a factor of safety of 3. It may be assumed that the bearing capacity factor Nc = 9 and that the adhesion factor a equals 0.85 for the soft clay. [NB: 96 = Nc. Cub and that ca = a.Cul (6 marks) 2 m NS Water table 12m Soft clay, Cu = 35 kPa, ou = 0, y = 18 kN/m =
