Abstract

The determination of load carrying capacity of bored piles generally uses the conventional semi-empirical static methods. For piles in expansive soils, more concern was given to the uplift forces. Few researches dealt with the prediction of the load carrying capacity of bored piles in expansive soils. In this paper some published CPT based methods are used to predict the ultimate capacity of bored piles and the change in capacity due to increase of moisture from semi-dry to excessive wetting. The results show that the CPT based design methods are promising when used to predict the capacity of small diameter short bored piles.
