1. In Problem 54. The answer is 1.643 (A) using the round up number (qmax) 5400 during the calculation. However, I got 1.652 (B) using qmax 5371. Hopefully, such close answers won't be shown in the real exam.
2. Problem 58, the final step is to get factor of safety. Why the actural (net) bearing pressure in CERM equation 36.23 is not used in the denominator?
3. Problem 62. From CERM Figure 38.1, sigma h is the same below the critical depth (10B-20B). Why the solution get the stress along the whole pile lenth.
I appreciate your time and effort for clarifying these.
