If the distribution of the resisting skin friction developed from the interaction between the soil and the surface of the pile is approximated as shown, and the resisting bearing force intensity ANSWER: Part B Also, find the corresponding elastic shortening of the pile. Neglect the weight of
2

is required to be zero, determine the maximum

for equilibrium. = 267

Correct

the pile.

ANSWER:

2.29 = Correct

Problem 1.4
