SITUATION: A group of piles are arranged as shown in the figure. The piles are square in section with sides equal to 300 mm and has a spacing of 1.20 m on
centers. One pile has a total length of 15 m. Unit weight of clay is 18.8 kN/m² and has a cohesion of 70 kPa. Ground water table is located at depth of 18 m
below the ground surface. Adhesion factor is 0.70.
