A 335 mm diameter pile is being designed with a factor of safety of 2 at a site where the soil consists of medium clay (Cu = 60 kPa) to a depth of 12 m. Below this is a layer of stiff clay (Cu = 162kPa). If the adhesion factor for medium clay is 69 % and that of stiff clay is 90%, compute the allowable pile capacity (kN) if the pile penetrates 3 m into stiff clay layer (3 d.p)

A group of 20 by 10 piles will be constructed at 1.2 m on centre using 450 mm diameter, 15 m long closed pipe piles. If the formation that they pile group is constructed in consists of a firm clay (su=110 kPa), what is the limiting capacity of the pile group (kN)? (hint you have to check the failure mechanisms; Assume that there is NO frost zone - ie depth of embedment is L)
