Question 1. A circular pile, \( 15 \mathrm{~m} \) long is driven into a homogeneous sand layer. The pile's width (diameter) is \( 0.4 \mathrm{~m} \). The standard penetration resistance near the vicinity of the pile is 16 . Use \( F S= \) 3 and Briaud \& Tucker method. Point force, Qp = Skin friction force, Qs = Ultimate bearing force, \( \mathrm{Qu}= \) Allowable bearing force, \( \mathrm{Qa}= \)
