A circular pile of diameter $0.6 \mathrm{~m}$ and length $8 \mathrm{~m}$ was constructed in a cohesive soil stratum having the following properties: bulk unit weight $=19~ \mathrm{kN} / \mathrm{m}^{3}$; angle of internal friction $=0^{\circ}$ and cohesion $=25 ~ \mathrm{kPa}$.

The allowable load the pile can carry with a factor of safety of $3$ is______________ $\mathrm{kN}$ (round off to one decimal place).

[Adopt: Adhesion factor, $\alpha=1.0$ and Bearing capacity factor, $N_{c}=9.0$ ]
