This is greater than the 916.25kN. The piles must therefore

penetrate at least 1.0m into the shaley mudstones, ideally below
the weathered zones. The minimum cement content in piles
should be 370kg/m 3 sulphate-resisting cement with a free water ratio
exceeding 0.45 to cater for Class 2 sulphates in soils.
