The values are slightly scattered then the usual while the rest of the condition
is favourable.
γ Rd = 2.5 (the lowest value)
γ n = 2.2
At the base where condition is unfavourable we get :

Piles installed in clay: The load is carried by cohesion between the soil and
the pile shaft. Bearing capacity of the pile can be calculated using the
following formula for pile installed in clay.
