b. A single square precast concrete pile of 0.5m x 0.5m in cross sectional area and of length 10m is driven into dry loose sand. The soil has a unit weight of y = 15kN/m, = 32° and d' = 0. Along the pile - soil interface it can be assumed K = 1 and 8' = 0.750. Determine the characteristic resistance of the pile and the allowable design load (permanent) on the pile under EC7 DA1b. 15 marks
