Abstract:This paper elaborates main methods for pile capacity assessment based on CPTU, and analyzes the applicability of them. Combining with the regional soil layer’s engineering property, this paper analyzes the corrected CPTU data and two pile load testing results, and proposes a new regional pile capacity prediction method, based on CPTU, which may serve as reference for the engineering design. Due to the use of the corrected CPTU data, this method can predict more accurately the pile capacity. Moreover, it also has good engineering practicality and operability.
