Maximum Load per pile @ 2m = (65570/69) + (5233*2/2069.12)

= 955.35 kN

Maximum Load per pile @ 4m = (65570/69) + (5233*4/2069.12)

= 960.41 kN

Maximum Load per pile @ 6m = (65570/69) + (5233*6/2069.12)

= 965.47 kN

Maximum Load per pile @ 8m = (65570/69) + (5233*8/2069.12)

= 970.53 kN

Maximum Load per pile @ 9.9m = (65570/69) + (5233*9.9/2069.12)

= 975.33 kN
