Three cast-in-place piles with a diameter of 480mm are installed under a certain platform, the pile length is 10.5m, and the soil layer on the side of the pile is: sludge, 6m thick, qsia=7kPa; silt, 2.5m thick, qsia =28kPa; clay, very thick (the pile end enters the layer 2m), qsia=35kPa, qpa=1800kPa. Try to calculate the characteristic value of the vertical bearing capacity of the single pile.

A rock storage pile is being designed for a mine in West Virginia. The pile is linedwith reinforced GCL overlain by a 1.5 mm thick HDPE geomembrane. A heavy nonwoven geotextile is placed on top of the geomembrane. Because the rock is porous(K = 10-2cm/s), it is used as the main LCS stone and no additional leachate collectionstone is being installed. Specify the base slope required to keep the head below 25cm if the design storm is 0.8 cm rain/day and the pipe-to-pipe lateral spacing is 60 mIs this rock a reasonable material to replace the LCS stone?
