11.22 A concrete pile measuring 0.406 m × 0.406 m in cross section is 18.3 m long. It is
fully embedded in a layer of sand. The following is an approximation of the me-
chanical cone penetration resistance (q.) and the friction ratio (F,) for the sand
layer. Estimate the allowable bearing capacity of the pile. Use FS = 4.
