24 Different Codes or Standards Eurocode 7 - Geotechnical Design is based on Limit State Methods. The pile load tests deliver values of nominal bearing resistance, recommended as the value at a settlement of 10% of the pile diameter out of which the value of the pile compressive resistance has to be selected. ASTM D1143 Standard Test Method for Piles Under Static Axial Compressive Load The term failure as used in this method indicates rapid progressive settlement of the pile or pile group under a constant load. Interpreted based on Davisson Offset limit method.
25 Widely Used Method in USA Davisson Offset Limit Method (1972). In his paper, Davisson explains that the criterion was developed for point bearing driven piles but goes on to state that it can also be applied to friction piles.. In this method since the offset is defined by the pile diameter, the capacity is therefore dependent on pile diameter. In his words: There are many ways of interpreting a load test; almost all of them are unsatisfactory for high capacity piles. It appears that engineering practice is based primarily on experience, precedent, and perhaps prayer, even for low capacity piles. Engineers need a scientific basis for making engineering decisions.

52 Comparison of CPT, Driven & DLT
53 Conclusions: Since, designs are based on Limit states, design of piles should also be based on servicibility limit states, i.e. settlement. The most predominant and most reliable method of pile design shall be the CPT Design Method. More number of Static Load Tests needs to be performed. Measured capacities were based on Chin Method. However, in many cases failure could be extrapolated.

55 Conclusions The use of pile dynamic formula (PDF) (a) has economic drawbacks: Factored load carrying capacity of PDF pile is 21% less than a DLT pile. For the same factored load pile lengths for PDF piles will be greater than DLT piles by 10 to 20%. Pile support cost per kip of structure load is 39% higher than a DLT pile. Based on past six years data, on an average per linear feet in ground cost of PDF piles is 9.2% more than the DLT piles. On an average, DLT capacity is less than Davisson Offset limit Capacity.
56 Conclusions (Contd.) DLT does a better site coverage, hence minimizes variability and overruns and underruns. The use of DLT piles should be increased for: All Piles designed for side friction Piles driven in to soft shale's There is a lesser risk in DLT piles than with Static Load test pile. Based on past six years data, on an average per linear feet in ground cost of PDF piles is 9.2% more than the DLT piles.
