Calculate the pile point bearing capacity using Meyerhof's Method, where a Concrete pile of diameter 12 in. and embedded length 25 ft. is to be driven into a medium dense to dense sand. Assume no groundwater was encountered, and the groundwater table is not expected to rise during the life of the structure.
