Abstract
Suggests when using pile-driving formula, the values should be checked against calculations of end bearing and friction capacity, based on the soil conditions and properties and on previous static test loads or dynamic pile test results.
History
Relates to SCI publications giving guidance on installation and testing of steel bearing piles: P156 Steel bearing piles guide (1997) and P335 H-pile design guide (2005).
