A group of 9 piles with 3 piles in a row were driven into soft clay extending from ground level to a great depth. The diameter and the length of the piles were 40 cm ) and 20 m respectively. The UCS value of the clay is 80 kPa. If the piles were placed at 100 cm c/c, compute the allowable load on the pile group on the basis of shear failure criteria for a factor of safety of 2.5.
