Use the data from Prob. 13.1 and an effective friction angle Φ’ between the pile surface and the surface soil layer and sand layer of 28°. Assume that k_{0} = 0.5 and that the last location for the earthquake-induced pore water pressures to dissipate will be just above the clayey fine sand layer. Further assume that the clayey fine sand layer and the silty fine sand layer are not anticipated to settle during the earthquake. If the piles are 0.3 m in diameter, calculate the downdrag load on each pile due to liquefaction at the site.
