A single vertical friction pile of diameter 500 mm and length 20 m is subjected to a vertical compressive load. The pile is embedded in a homogeneous sandy stratum where: angle of internal friction is = 30°, dry unit weight (yd)= 20 kN/m3 and angle of wall friction is 24/3. Considering the coefficient of lateral earth pressure (K) = 2.7 and the bearing capacity factor (Ng) = 25, the ultimate bearing capacity of the pile (in kN) is_
