This problem asks you to apply shear strength values at discrete locations to a pile. Compute the side resistance using the Randolph and Murph method and the tip resistance using a ${\mathrm{Nc}}^{?}$ value of 7 for the following pile. Then determine the allowable capacity in kips using a factor of safety of 4 . The unit weight of the soil is 121 pcf. Show calculation table and sample hand calculation confirm spreadsheet calculations if a spreadsheet is used. Reduce the side resistance by ignoring the influence of the top $5\mathrm{ft}$ of soil. \begin{tabular}{cc} \begin{tabular}{c} Depth \\ (ft) \end{tabular} & \begin{tabular}{c} $s_{?}$ \\ $\left(\mathrm{lb}/{\mathrm{ft}}^2\right)$ \end{tabular} \\ \hline 8 & 1500 \\ 16 & 2000 \\ 24 & 2500 \\ 32 & 3000 \\ 40 & 3500 \\ 48 & 4000 \\ 56 & 5000 \end{tabular}
