Soil Mechanics Homework Analysis

The document contains calculations to determine the bearing capacity of a pile foundation. It involves 6 steps: 1) Determining soil properties from given information 2) Calculating vertical effective stresses at different depths 3) Setting up an equation to determine the depth of the failure surface based on force equilibrium 4) Calculating forces acting on the failure wedge 5) Using force equilibrium to calculate the maximum bearing capacity 6) Performing a check calculation using a simplified method. The maximum bearing capacity is found to be 15.906 t/m and the failure depth is 6.607 m.
