A group of 9 piles, 12 m long and 400 mm in diameter is arranged in a square pattern in homogeneous clay soil. The c/c spacing of the pile are 1000 mm. The properties of clay soil is given below Cc =0.10, e0=0.9, γsat = 20 kN/m^3, unconfined compressive strength qu= 70 kN/m^2 assume adhesion factor 0.7,. Water table is at GL. Determine the FOS against bearing if 1500 kN load is applied on the pile group and total settlement of pile group under the same load
