Corrected Cone Penetration Test Method for Predicting the Load Capacity of Single Pile

Abstract:

Based on the end bearing capacity and friction capacity obtained from high strain dynamic test, an adjusted equation was provided to calculate the pile load capacity. The equation was corrected again by pile load test results. Therefore, a suggested equation was finally established. Practical experience showed that, the corrected equation of cone penetration test method to estimate the load capacity of single pile performed better than that in the national code.
