| Abstract | A total of 99 piles ( 57 Raymond step-taper piles and 42 Reverse circulation bored piles) load tests data , including the subsoil information, pile driving records (for Raymond step-taper piles only ) have been collected from seven projects at Taipei and Kaohsiung in Taiwan. In this study, three methods have been used for determining the pile ultimate capacity namel y: (1 ) the load -settlement data from pile load tests ( 2) the static analysis ( 3) the use of the dynamic formulae . Interpretations by the above methods , show that the MAZURKIEWICZ method predicted failure loads better from the load- settlement curves . The NORLUND analytical method for Raymond step-taper pile and the static method (Ks= 0.7, TOUMA and REESE , 1976 ) for Reverse circulation bored pile also made good predictions of the failure loads . |
