A rectangular pile (0.88 x 0.68 m.) is driven in a clayey soil arrangement composed of two different layers. First layer has a height of 5 m., cohesion of 54 kPa, friction factor of 0.81. Second layer has a height of 8 m., cohesion of 72 kPa, and friction factor of 0.81. Compute the allowable load that the pile can carry if the factor of safety is 2.93. Use stored value. Asnwer in 5 decimal places.
