Hi, this is already a reposted question. Please help.

A circular pile having a diameter of 0.44 m is 16.41 m long which is embedded in a
layer of dense compacted sand having the given properties.
Soil properties:
Lateral pressure factor, K 3.30
Nq = 60
Specific gravity, Gs= 2.67
Void ratio, e =1.15
Saturation above the GWT = 0.70
Ground water table (GWT) is located 3.87 m below the ground.
Use unit weight of water = 9.81 kN/m2
Coefficient of friction 0.56
!!
Factor of safety 2.79
Calculate the allowable capacity of the pile in kN.
