(b) The variation of N60 with depth in a granular soil deposit is as shown in Table Q1(b). A rectangular concrete pile 7.5 m long (0.5 m×0.5 m in cross section) is driven into the sand and fully embedded in the soil. For the proposed site, given: Design load = 1112.1kN,FOS=3.0,Pa=100kN/m2 and Lpile =7.5 m. (i) Design Qp by using data given in Table Q1(b) (6 marks) (ii) Design Qs by using data given in Table Q1(b) (5 marks) (iii) Estimate the allowable bearing capacity Qall of the pile (3 marks)
