Results of the Static Pile Load Tests

The objective of this contribution is to communicate the results of the static load tests performed on 10 ground displacement screw piles and 2 driven prefabricated piles, and to compare the calculated with the measured pile bearing capacities. The calculations are based on the semi-empirical methods used in Belgium to deduce the pile bearing capacity from cone penetration tests (CPT). Out of this analysis the authors suggest installation coefficients for this specific test site, which could be integrated in the work of the Belgian NAD-commission for the Eurocode 7.
