WHAT CAPACITY VALUE TO CHOOSE FROM THE RESULTS A STATIC LOADING TEST. WE HAVE DETERMINED THE CAPACITY, THEN WHAT (2001)

For pile foundation projects, it is usually necessary to confirm capacity and to verify that the behavior of the piles agrees with the assumptions of the design. On most occasions, a distinct plunging ultimate load is not obtained in the test and, therefore, the pile capacity or ultimate load must be determined by some definition based on the load-movement data recorded in the test.
